I threatened to sue a site in California that stole content of one model. I asked for $1,000 per image with thirty-six images used. They offered $10 per image and an apology.
I got $39k plus change for infringement and lawyer fees. My lawyer was a customer and friend.
How did I get it? Besides pointing out they had no releases, they admitted to it by apologizing and offering a counteroffer. Denied it in writing after inadvertently admitting to it I also provided emails showing how popular she was to prove her worth.
I gave $12k (1/3) to my customer who reported it to me. I could have gotten more but the content was added just five days before I was notified. I emailed every join with the rules and including an offer of one-third my payment for theft and infringement if images were seen elsewhere. I paid for a product, something that digitally wrote my copyright code in each image. Forget the name but it paid for itself one hundred times over.
The good old days. I keep waiting for sites to sue tube sites using paid content instead of takedowns. I know sites submit that content but surely not all of it
