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.

I came here to bring this up specifically. Tony Northrup had a video about someone across the globe stealing his content and brought up how extremely costly it was. He was mad, could afford it, and was gonna fight cause they did it to him twice, from what I recall, but I do remember a point in the video where he was talking about how it became a matter of principle over money at a certain point because of the cost in money and time sink. I can't remember if he said $50,000 or $500,000, I lean towards the 50, but either way, that's a lot of money to fight for one picture.
I mean, if he wins, he should win back the court expenses, or does it not work like that?
I don't know, and I'm also gonna assume it's not exactly the easiest thing to collect a debt from half way around the world either. There's also the real possibility you could lose.
