There is no single narrative to how a copyright battle might pan out. Just within the narrow scope of copyright infringement in the photographic medium, one can discover several forms of legal tussles. TheyStoleMyWork brings forth some high-profile copyright infringement cases – one dealing with a historically important photograph and how NYTimes lays false claim on it and another involving Al Gore’s Current TV dragging a photographer back to court to claim back the compensation it had to pay for using his work without permission.
One cannot help but note that copyright violation, once a matter of concern for obscure entities, is now an issue each one of us must prepare to face, as regular content creators online and offline.
