There's no way that I'd spend $50,000 in an attempt to recover $3000 (or $300).
Within the Poserverse, copyright essentially works on the honor system. And on the threat of ostracism and banning for would-be violators. But for that little problem: of course, there's always clone accounts..........although it's usually not too difficult to spot a ringer -- especially when the 'ringer' is well-known in the community.
Real copyright lawsuits are for the Big Boys -- like movie studios, large software companies, music producers, publishing houses, etc.. And even they can't stop piracy -- for all the efforts of their mega-million-dollar high-powered teams of lawyers.
Honor system -- that's about the best that we can have / hope for in here. Frankly, the remainder of the discussion over copyright law, etc. is pretty much all academic.......and it's pretty much that way in ALL of these seemingly endless 'copyright law' types of threads.
Uh.......they're largely a waste of time, IMHO. But to each their own.
