Big payday for Daniel Morel

Apparently AFP and Getty used his images without payment. Good for Daniel.

I kind of wonder how many other images these outfits use without paying.

Just makes you wonder how many images these companies steal and get away or the photographers not knowing.

I'm glad this went in the direction of the photographer!

Dumbfounded- defined as: cannot believe this happened, we hope others don't see this and come after us.

For that price, they can steal my images, too.

The long, drawn out legal battle puts a bit of a damper on things though.

Glad to see this verdict; hopefully they don't appeal and keep this poor guy tied up in court for another few years.

seriously, $1.2 million
of course a jury award and what he eventually collects are two different things
