The Great Courses Plus is currently available to watch via web browser for almost everyone in the world and optimized for the US, UK and Australian markets. The Great Courses Plus is currently working on both global product optimization and global acceptance of credit card payments.

Two years ago, a company used one of our most famous photos on the cover of an iPhone case without our permission. This was misleading in several respects; the product seemed to advertise that it could produce our image results (it didn't) and some people thought we were endorsing the product. The product was in some of Australia and New Zealand's biggest stores, including Target, and retailed for around AUD$70.

We tried to reach out and handle the situation nicely without hiring lawyers, but the people who stole our photo immediately hired a lawyer and tried to ignore us.

So we took them to court. It was not easy ! We had to hire lawyers in Australia, and finding a lawyer was REALLY HARD. The defendants tried to get out of it without paying a reasonable sum… but it ultimately cost them dearly.

How much did we receive? We will show you our bank statement. Don't forget to subscribe to the Picture This Photography podcast in your favorite podcasting app.
