A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Illegal Print (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I'm a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It's a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.

Does anyone now what's the best thing to do here?

Thanks!

Send them an outrageously priced bill. Sometimes a book keeper at a giant company like that will just get those and pay them. The thing going for you, is you ACTUALLY Provided the service. They could look at it as cheaper than litigation and just pay you. Because if they've been running around with this giant picture on their boat it could be argued you've helped them bring in sales. Boom. Now you're asking for 5% of their profits. That $40k bill looks pretty nice about now.
