Doe was awarded $450,000 in damages because of copyright infringement. She also received $3 million in compensatory damages for emotional distress, and $3 million in punitive damages.


Unfortunately, no pics.

How does one determine how much money "emotional distress" is worth?

Lots of factors. How egregious was the act? Are you seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist? Have you been diagnosed with any condition as a result of said incident? How will said condition affect your future employment prospects? How has the incident affected your relationship with your immediately (loss of consortium and affection)?

Has to be a lot of gray area with that.

If it can't be paid, why even award it?

We have a weird system where someone who has been discriminated at work, for example, gets way more money than someone who has sustained serious injuries.

I knew a woman whose now ex-husband was sharing pics of her online, even after they divorced. She never would go after him. Could've had some money

You would think these entertainers who have had pics leaked would do that.

It is a way to hamstring the loser for life.

OJ may have never paid the waiter’s family a dime but his inability to have a legal income is what eventually resulted in his prison sentence.

If any attorney might need to see pics of the items I wish to copyright, let me know.

The same reason we sentence people to multiple consecutive life sentences?
