How often, as individual artists, do we need to sue for copyright breech? Even if we did, would it be viable to do so. How much or our business is in the multi-thousand $ license realm? It's the dream of having an image that makes the "Big-Time" that keeps us clinging to the idea that we need to own copyright on our images. Copyright laws do not protect the artist. They protect the corporations that buy artist's work. In fact they make it possible for a corporation to make income from an artist's work and then sue the artist for using it him/herself. We're all gung-ho about copyright but "What if" there's another, detrimental side to it that we don't see? Could you acknowledge that the possibility exists? herschel >>-----Original Message----- >>From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner- >>photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Emily L.
