Show Notes
Court sanctions were not enough to prevent attorney Richard Liebowitz from filing lawsuit after lawsuit on behalf of photographers alleging copyright infringement. The problem is Liebowitz also routinely falsely claimed his clients registered their copyrights prior to filing lawsuits, lied to the court, and violated several court orders, ultimately leading to his disbarment.
Is Liebowitz a crusader for justice (at least in his own mind) or just another copyright troll?
