I wonder if he tried to settle before suing.

Nonetheless, this is how photographers eat. I wonder if his contract is with the NBA, and where the photo was originally published.

As a photographer myself, I think it’s Kinda fukked up. At least tag the nikka who took the photo.

I would agree, but Father Bron may have gotten it off another Instagram account. Kinda hard to try and track down the photographer if that's the case. Throw a watermark on that bytch next time

I believe though since it's a photo of an NBA game, Mitchell doesn't own the rights to the photo, but the NBA does. The NBA could counter sue. I wouldn't have made that move.

That's fine if he asked and Bron said GTFOH, but he's biting the hand that feeds him by going the lawsuit route. Why would the NBA give a courtside credential to someone who's willing to sue the players? Media credentials aren't a right.

Also, I bet there are copyright conditions tied to media usage (photographs are included in NBA copyrights) that is negotiated in the CBA so Bron might be justified in his usage of it. I doubt the NBA would expose themselves to this type of lawsuit.
