I have counseled so many companies to pay small amounts to resolve minor copyright infringement claims. Even when companies have defenses, it is almost always cheaper to pay a few hundred dollars in response to a demand letter than it is to fight. There are a group of lawyers that make a living filing nothing but nuisance lawsuits. Did your company grab a picture from the internet for a blog post? You will eventually get one of these letters. Sometimes, companies do fight back. Often the lawyers that file these troll claims do not really want to go through the litigation process. Holding these trolls to the rules and forcing them to proceed to litigation can result in victories. One of the troll lawyers just got disbarred because of his repeated failures to comply with court rules when companies fight back. Every time a company gets a demand letter, it has to make a business decision. Usually settling is the right tack to take. But, there are instances where fighting the claims can result in better outcomes. ***Before anyone gets too mad, there are lots of great plaintiff side copyright lawyers.*** https://lnkd.in/dvEQ6KQt
