My guess why Getty won the lawsuit is because lawsuits are in order to grant damages and she wasn't able to prove monetary damages to herself as it was already in the public domain. Unfortunately there is very much law enforcement against entities falsely claiming copyrights, especially those that technically have no owner. It seems hard enough for you tubers who get claimed by copyright troll companies constantly and steal their advertising revenue.. or YouTube technically steals and res distributes to the copyright troll. Even those cases you won't see criminal charges or even civil or monetary charges unless the copyright holder wants to go to court. It's basic time scamming. Copyright trolls can claim 100 million videos in the time it takes one person to defend one of those claims. Basically every day these companies make claims that would take the combined lifespan of the entire world to defend against.
