Corporate accountability is rare because no one holds them to account. This man's a 25-year veteran photographer, he clearly knows it's wrong and has enough balls to do something about it. The unfortunate thing is that barely 1% of people would know how wrong taking someones photographs is and has the balls to make someone account for it. If more people knew about these stories, knew that they could get a big cash payout then everyone who has a photo stolen would be talking to their lawyer, which would make it a very harsh environment for big corporations to play games like this.

The thing I find most amusing about this whole affair is that the provision for the statutory damages that AFP might suffer was actually the result of big industry pushing for draconian penalties for copyright infringement by the little guy. I won't exactly be full of sympathy if a big company finds that the same rules apply in reverse...
