Commercial use of Trogography copyrighted material without prior consent is a violation of United States and International copyright law.

Copyright infringement is serious and can result in substantial penalties. Statutory damages for work registered with the US Copyright office range from $750 to $30,000 plus attorney’s fees; especially egregious cases of willful infringement may result in awards up to $150,000. In addition, the removal or falsification of copyright management information may give rise to additional statutory damages of $2,500 to $25,000 under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

We’ve all heard it at some point, “it’s just a photograph”. Many of us in the business know what it takes (the time, effort, resources) in order to create “just a photograph”; releasing the shutter is just the first step in the creative and technical process. Delivering the final image via either print or web is usually the result of a lot of hard work. Please respect this by not infringing upon our copyright, or the copyrights of any photographer or artist for that matter.
