Pesala Bandara, PetaPixel; Photographer Can Take Jigsaw Puzzle Company to Court Over Use of His Photos
"Last week, a judge ruled that professional landscape and nature photographer Elliot McGucken could pursue copyright infringement and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) claims against Canadian puzzle manufacturer Karmin International.
In his lawsuit, McGucken claims that Karmin International reproduced five of his photographs without authorization on its puzzles in its “Nature’s Beauty” series and placed their own copyright notices on the resulting products. The companies allegedly sold the puzzles across the United States, including in New York."
