Did you know? In the early days of the Internet, it wasn’t 100% clear whether online service providers were liable if their users committed copyright infringement. In response to growing confusion, in 1998, the US Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to address copyright issues on the web.

Since Joseph Nicéphore Niépce invented the photographic camera in 1816, photography has been a powerful tool for documenting our lives and our world.

From Charlie’s Cole’s image of a lone protestor staring down a line of tanks in Tiananmen Square to Ansel Adams’s black-and-whites of the American West, still photographs create strong emotional connections to people, events, and places we may never experience. As Dorothea Lange put it: “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
But the photographers who create those images face an increasingly challenging economic landscape—and it’s made more difficult by the widespread piracy of their work.

When we think of piracy, we usually think in terms of big numbers. For example, the film industry estimates that pirated films get about 230 billion views per year. The music industry estimates its annual losses to piracy at $2.7 billion. Those numbers help to quantify the problem, but they only tell half the story—and it’s not the more compelling half.
