I do not think that the guys he is suing were running these sites where the photographer's content was illegally re-posted. If I understand correctly, these are American individuals simply re-posting the photographer's content on a surfer forum or forums to 'share" with their friends. That's what makes these settlements even more amazing in my opinion. Imagine being able to track down and sue some of the individual posters on a site like pornbb. A lot of them will be Americans with a job, maybe a wife and some assets, and many of them will have no idea that someone would or could come after them just for re-posting their content on a public or semi-private surfer forum.
