That's all he had to do. Just tag him and it wouldn't be a problem. If the show was on the other foot would yall side with LBJ? Intellectual property my friends
Man dont nobody give a fukk about no photographer :heh:

And ain't nobody paying money for a picture that can easily be shared via social media. Anybody could have posted and shared that picture. Millions. He gonna sue everybody? :heh:

That's how stupid this shyt is

It likes MJ suing the entire world for using the crying jordan meme. Or hell even the guy that photographed MJ crying :heh:

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.

That's the only thing that would stop me from siding with Bron,. I think it's incredibly stupid to destroy a potentially lucrative business relationship with Lebron James but if he actually reached out to his camp and was ignored then I can understand

Even if you tried to reach out and got ignored, 150K ain’t worth killing your career

either sue for more or put it on front street and try to pressure bron’s camp specifically. The LEAGUE ain’t gonna fukk with anyone suing em

I dont get it


Millions of people posts pictures taken by photographers of celebrities and athletes everyday on social media. I dont see them getting sued. What's the difference here? Nothing besides the person posting the pic. And it's not like Lebron is making profit from it.

If this photographer has a case then thousands of lawsuits should be in the making

If not stfu

You always site the source. I can tell you nikkas here are fukking dumb. Twisting this into a race thing. Copyright law exists for a reason. If you take a picture of something and it blows up and that's your means of eating, you should be at least recognized if not cashed out. But you silly fanboys dont understand that. That said, Is he going too far with sueing... yes.
But only if he reached out to Bron and Bron was like 'nahhh'. He should've just asked bron to post its source as a comment.
