Quite a long read! Very brave move!

I have read also from another forum a photo stolen by Boy & Kris morning show. The owner is asking for damages.

Go guys! We are proud of you!

Cheers!

Anton, Go for it! It's going to be an important milestone and inflection point in the professional/amateur photographer scene. its important that you consult others with strong opinion on the matter. If you lose, its a precedent, and will reference this case forever. I feel for you Anton. If you settle, then that's as good as losing. So if you will just settle, suggest keep it under the radar.

win or lose, i think it was a big step to file a case and let everyone be aware.. you know how the wheels of justice turn in this country... it will be a long and hard battle against a 108 year old newspaper company.
