But congratulations to Mr. Murphy. I have a feeling Mr. Murphy will end up winning but, after all the legal fees, I doubt he wins at all.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If your image is not registered you can still sue the infringer but only for compensation for the usage of the image. Hard to find a lawyer that will take that case.
