Corporate Injustice - An Interview with Penny Gentieu by Brad Holland Case Commentary by Stephen Filler, Esq. In January 2000, photographer Penny Gentieu sued Getty Images for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary responsibility and copyright infringement. She alleged, among other things, that Getty had licensed her pictures beyond the scope of its authority, infringed her copyrights by art directing other photographers to copy her images and failed to honor their obligation as her agent to market her work properly. When Gentieu appealed the case to a higher court, Getty proved how a corporation can use the "brute force" of the courts to prevail. At Getty's request, the judge ordered Gentieu to immediately pay Getty's legal fees of $728,308.23. Unless she did, Getty demanded that Gentieu surrender to them her photographs, negatives and copyrights. Faced with financial ruin and the loss of her life's work, Penny Gentieu dropped her appeal. - 2004-06-20
