A new court aimed at small copyright claims has handed down its first verdict.
on February 28, 2023, the CCB ruled in favor of the plaintiff, David Oppenheimer, who sued a lawyer named Douglas Prutton for using one of his photographs on his website without permission.
A three-judge panel heard the case. Prutton’s defended himself in two ways, the first claiming fair use and the second invoking the unclean hands argument. The second argument was the unclean hands doctrine which accuses the plaintiff of acting unethically. Essentially, Prutton said the photographer is a serial litigant but the CCB dismissed this argument too citing that simply being a frequent litigator does not qualify as an unclean hands defense.After finding in Oppenheimer’s favor, the court had to decide how much money to award the photographer. The minimum statutory damages that the court could award was $750 with the maximum set at $15,000.
