Top Euro court: No, you can't steal images from other websites (too bad a school had to be sued to confirm this little fact)

"@Jason but there's already laws in place which detail how he should have gone about this. He's actually bypassed existing laws in order to create a situation where he'll make the news."

If there were already laws and everything was so clear, why did we have to get right the way up to the ECJ? The school, then the city, then the state, should have folded at the earliest possible opportunity because it knew it was in the wrong.

But NRW didn't, they took it all the way to the ECJ because they had the cash and wanted to grind an independent photographer into the dirt instead for having the temerity to assert that the law is still true. And it backfired.
