Shugart says he learned the benefits of registering his images with the U.S. Copyright Office, since he was not able to defend his copyrights in the suit without having registered the images first.
"Register your image as soon as you possibly can," Shugart advises. He said he was able to register two years worth of images in about two months, but is still waiting for another four years of images to be processed.
The $500,000 award for removal of copyright information came under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Shugart says he always labels his digital images with copyright information in the metadata, which helped him in this case. He has also begun mentioning this in the paperwork he delivers with the images, reminding his clients not to alter the copyright metadata.
