I couldn’t believe my eyes. A few weeks after sending PPS our first images, they already had the first gross settlement of $22,500 before agreed splits and fixed costs from a particularly annoying infringer ... We expect to show the industry that infringers can’t walk all over us, and with PPS’s critical help we expect to generate significant revenue by enforcing our copyrights.

PPS has already found multiple examples of my images being used illegally ... and soon after, a settlement was had. I actually made as much last year from copyright violation claims as from some of my smaller agents. The reason those sales have dropped is that people are stealing photographs without paying. It’s that simple. PPS is doing the photographers' work of protecting their rights. I fully endorse their effort and hope that other photographers jump on board.
