“Alternatively, Plaintiff is entitled to statutory damages up to $150,000 per work infringed for Defendants willful infringement of the Photographs.”

Ramales’ attorney Richard Liebowitz said: “This is a classic example of celebrities using their social media to generate revenue without paying the photographer any license to use their photo.”

“Photographers need to stick up for their rights and make sure they get paid for their work.”
