hi anton,
this is great news, indeed. i hope that all other photographers who ’s copyright was infringed may be compensated for the loss that is due them.
this is also my idea why we at ipr-photo are soliciting stories on copyright infringements (http://ipr-photophilippines.blogspot.com/). ipr-photo may not have the clout as of the moment but exposing copyright infringements committed by companies/ image-users will put them into bad light and in a way compel them to take action especially if such stories were picked-up by the press or big media entities, such as your case.
unless there is no pressure put on them, they (infringers) won’t shake up their ass (excuse me for the word).
all the best!
