RE: [artshow_photo] Copyright infringement on Facebook

Great info from everyone. In my case, these people were in Spain so I
consider myself lucky that I got anything at all. I obviously was not going
to incur in the expenses to fly to Spain with my lawyer to sue them.

If you have a copyright statement on your work,

C2010 by Joe Photographer all rights reserved

and that was removed, then you can sue under the DMCA not the copyright law
and recover up to $50,000 per violation and recover legal costs as well. I
think of that as a cheap copyright and include a statement on the border of
every image that I post.
