Thanks and to answer your question yes. If content producers would make it a practice of learning how to copyright their pics and videos before posting them - piracy could be more easily fought.
If in the above case had the OP had the copyrights registered before the infringement I would seriously consider taking the case on contingency. And more than likely an expert would not be needed.
I cannot stress how important it is for producers (1) use work for hire agreements when creating content and (2) actually registering their content before publising it.
That makes our work and a content producer's expenses much less...
