He is not a photographer or a photographer with a brain and ethics of an used car salesman. You are dealing with people. Not everything is about money and the law. I can see having a rare picture of someone famous you may become famous yourself or rich. The subject is just a little girl. One Imaging Photography

Surely this man regrets his decision, or has been berated enough to compensate for his stupidity. Photography is just a hobby for me.

It was also in very poor taste to suddenly rush to copyright the image in hopes of capitalizing off it monetarily, which apparently didn't mean much to him previous. There is a fine line one should walk when it comes to something like this and he failed at staying on the correct side.

Depends on how rich they are and whether or not they are hyper-protective of their own copyrights. The CEO of Disney I would sue. (The Mouse is very litigious.)
