The foregoing harm is irreparable and is exacerbated by the fact that in the Infringing Restaurants and in associated marketing materials, JMC has intentionally displayed and reproduced the copyrighted images, characters, costumes, and character names, and derivative works thereof, from the Works. JMC created, displayed, and reproduced the Infringing Materials willfully, and in knowing disregard of Paramount Pictures’ copyrights, of which JMC was on notice long before it began its infringing conduct.

December 8, 2021 at 9:50 pm the respondent, Nathaniel Ladson sent a text message with an exact rendering of the copyrighted image "Sunglass Corner" attached, to a friend of mine and gallery owner for consideration in an upcoming exhibition. The text also included a picture of Nathaniel Ladson standing in front of "Sunglass Corner" (with his name on it) hung on a wall at a Georgianna's Joint in Manhattan, NY. He has also used "Sunglass Corner" as his cover image on Facebook.	As a photographer for over 40 years, "Sunglass Corner" is my signature photographic piece. It is the image that I am known for and is easily recognizable as my work. "Sunglass Corner" helped to launch my career. It has been published and exhibited widely. I have collectors who have purchased limited editions, valued at $1500 each. Copying and reproducing "Sunglass Corner" in any way, reduces its value. My collectors bought and paid for the emotional sentiment evoked by this image- four elderly men from a different time standing as present day sentries to the Village of Harlem, New York. The high contrast and soft grainy texture is indicative of the style I've created, by using the same materials in processing and printing my images. Reproducing the image cheapens and devalues it tremendously. I've invested years, time and money honing my craft and skill as a self-taught photographer. This infringement has also threatened my reputation as a professional. I can't have the authenticity of my work questioned at this stage of my career.

22-CCB-0094	infringement	This is a video that I filmed of my dog and my best friend. I added audio and text and shared to my tiktok and Instagram pages	A massive media agency stole my content and is profiting of f it. They downloaded and removed my watermarks from a video that I created and shared on my own social media pages. I am a full-time content creator and make my living by selling content and by posting content. I get paid by social media platforms per like, view and share of my content. Additionally, I get paid in all future brand deals based on how many, followers, views and likes my profiles have. Doing Things Media, and their subsidiary Doggos Doing Things stole the video from my account, removed my watermarks, and shared it to their own account, amassing over 1.8 million views. They did not appropriately tag me nor ask my permission to use my content. I commented and messaged asking for appropriate credit, at the very least. My followers also began commenting on the post asking them to credit me. They deleted those comments. I then emailed them 2 times, once asking them to take the content down and twice with an invoice asking them to simply pay my content fee - the standard fee I charge for usage without watermarks or tagging. They are not only making money off my content but stealing my potential income	As a result of this infringement and unlicensed use of Nicole Punzi's likeness, I have lost out on my standard fee of $2775 for limited content use - if a video is to be used in ads I charge an additional $1500 and if it will be used in perpetuity and additional $1000. Additionally, I have lost out on more than 1.8 million views which amounts to $720, or $.04 per view. The lost followers, likes, and views cannot be easily quantified because all of my future brand deals will now pay less as they have stolen those follows, likes, and views from me. Brands determine how much they will pay a partner based on engagement rate which is now marred because of these lost numbers.

On December 18, 2019, I discovered that my photograph of one of my original acrylic paintings was being used as the primary advertising photo to sell “BYOB” acrylic pour painting classes at a New York-based company called “The Paint Place” through the website CourseHorse.com. They posted this photo in affiliation with multiple classes being held at least two different “The Paint Place” art studio locations in the New York City area throughout 2019 and 2020. According to posts of class listings on CourseHorse.com for “BYOB Panting: Paint Pouring” that had my photograph posted on them, these classes were being sold at a price of $60 per person, had an “average of twenty students” per class, and were often listed as being “sold out”.

Since this is the second time that I've been taken advantage of by a publishing company, this situation took a toll on my mental health. The thought of someone else taking credit and making money off my work made me physically ill and caused severe depression. I was left in financial strains that affected my livelihood and was almost evicted. I've reached out to the online sites to have the files transferred and continue to get an automated response. I paid an estimated amount of $5,000 and have no idea how many books have been sold or the amount that is owed to me. I had to stop promoting my book and take down my websites. This situation also made me an open target to thieves trying to steal my intellectual property and plagiarizing my book on their IG and Facebook pages. I've made both local police and the FBI reports on the people I believe were doing this. I have not sent a takedown notice because I do not wish to have the book removed, I would rather have the account transferred under my name and royalties paid.

An expert's analysis is summarized in this excerpt: "... this researcher concludes that these similarities have not occurred by chance or by coincidence. Therefore, they must have occurred by design. Since Heart/The Beat is the earliest copyrighted recording of the two, it appears as if significant aspects of Mr. Brown's musical material and ideas, which also appear in ilomilo, have been appropriated by the creators of ilomilo without Mr. Brown's permission and have been incorporated into the recording of that song."

As a result, I see the toy as a reproduction of my poem in that such fable character figurine is an anthropomorphic pig dressed up like a typical housewife with a guitar to be a rock star, whereas my poetic fable depicts an anthropomorphic sheep as a good samaritan giving up fleece to an anthropomorphic pig on the phone like a typical shopper with the fleece as a wig to be somebody.

The nature of my work is a fiction (shifter romance) novel that has been broken up into 199 chapters on the infringing sites. I've only licensed this work to certain pay-to-read platforms, namely GoodNovel, iReader, MoboReader, NovelCat, Popink, Noveltells, VolcanoEbook, and FishNovel, all of which are companies, not individuals. And these authorized companies charge a fee to readers for access to the material in question. The respondents and I did not sign any contract. Both respondents are not authorized to use my work.	The infringing sites have taken my book that I've licensed to other platforms and put it in public for free. Once a person types the title of my book and add the word "free", the respondents' sites become visible. The download steps are easy and they are all pdf documents.	Due to the fact that they'd been circulating my book for free, my income significantly dropped until I filed a DMCA with Google. They issued a counter notification, stating that they belong to a group where they have access to such material. I'm copying and pasting their allegation here: Respondent 1: "I am authorised to use the materials on this addresses as the materials published are available for public use and distribution in Chinese language. We translated these copies to English for our audience" Respondent 2: "I am not the owner, but I am authorized to use the content" "Hello, This item wasn't lifted from the quoted website, rather it's a material that's accessible in the public domain (although must use a translator to access it fully). We belong to a group where we have access to these materials to use, share, read, etc." My book was NEVER translated. It was and still is only in English.

Upon its discovery of the infringement in late 2021, Claimant conducted a thorough search of its records and consulted with the author, determining that permission had never been granted to Butter Lutz Interiors for its use of the works, nor had a license fee been paid by them.	The harm suffered is a loss of licensing fees to which the author was entitled had Butter Lutz Interiors properly licensed the images via Claimant. The Claimant is seeking actual damages of $500.00 per image infringed for a total of $13,000.00.	OTTO Archive LLC	Peppercorn Partners LLC	Butter Lutz Interiors, LLC	Order to Amend Noncompliant Claim

On June 15, 2022 Dolls Kill discovered several additional copies on Defendant's websites. It thus appears that Defendant willfully and repetitively infringes upon Dolls Kill's rights, despite Dolls Kill's efforts to resolve this issue without court intervention.	By reason of the foregoing, Defendant has infringed and continues to infringe, the Dolls Kill Copyrights in violation of, without limitation, the exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution and the exclusive right to prepare derivative works under section 106 of the Copyright Act, and section 501 of the Copyright Act.

The same IP, Titania Fairy Wings, has actually been infringed 3 different times by Paris Hilton / 11:11 Digital. The first time I became aware of one on Instagram, I sent a DMCA notice to Paris' company, at management@parishiltonentertainment.com on 9/17/2020 for the Sept. 2020 infringement, as that was the one I became aware of first, requesting removal of the infringing work from Paris' Instagram account.

My infringements of this IP have increased greatly in the last 3 years but especially in the last 2. I believe these infringements played a part in that by giving Paris' viewers the impression that my IP is a freely available work to use should they find it being distributed (illegally) online. I believe it may also be causing brand confusion between myself and a competing fairy wing maker, HelloFaerie, who engaged in slandering me a few years ago when she was trying to compete in the market. HelloFaerie has been providing Paris with her fairy wings for the last 2 or 3 years. Her business was built upon the foundation my work created. Since these infringements, I have been incorrectly credited or tagged as the wing maker in posts showing HelloFaerie's work quite a few times. This has been adding insult to injury. I am seeking roughly $12,000 in relief, based on previous copyright settlements for online displays of my work and due to the frequency with which the same IP has been infringed by Paris / 11:11 Digital.

That license expired before WRCB-TV’s use and required the crediting of Claimant in connection with the license. Therefore, at the time of Respondent’s reproduction, display, and distribution of the Photograph on its website, Claimant had not granted Respondent any license or permission to reproduce, publicly display, or otherwise use the Photograph for any purpose.
