Photographer sues Trump Organization for copyright infringement

Another one... sheesh... you would think the campaign staff would know better than to use images in marketing materials they didn't get (or pay for) permission to use.

Julie Dermansky, a New Orleans-based photojournalist, is suing Trump Organization for using her photo without permission. They used the photo on their website, as well as on the president’s Instagram page, where it gained almost 28,000 likes. Apparently, they didn’t either request the photographer’s permission or gave her credits. So, she is seeking $150,000 damages and a court trial, claiming that Trump Org. illegally profited off her work......
