the problems of fighting back are many-fold.
1) those that have been "attacked" would have to come together to form a defense group.. which could be made up of competitors
2) this defense group would have to put into a pool of money to hire an attorney for defendant or plantiff litigation (maybe some attorney might take this up on contingency and take a big chunk of the percentages, but you will probably have to come up witht he out-of-pocket expenses). some group members won't have deep pockets.. and others might.. so the group will have to figure out how to split the payments.
3) in order to prove damages, you may have to open up your books... so those that don't keep good records, have two books, shave, etc.. might be court-shy
4) you may actually be infringing on P10 images and have no legal grounds to stand on.
5) you may have images of the same model as in the P10 images, and could get targeted anyways by P10, and would have to prove otherwise.. which will take a court and a lawyer, and $$$..and in this case, you would be a defendant.. and if you prove yourself to be innocent, you may get attorneys fees back after alot of money spent during the process.
Litigation sucks both your money and your life.
Take precautions to review how you are running your biz in relation to copyrights (and 2257) as per my last post.
Fight the giant sucking sound!
