Meet The Photographer Who Wants $3.6

Meet The Photographer Who Wants $3.6 Million From BuzzFeeᴅ But Who Won’t Restore Your Faith In Humanity

Spoiler: he won’t get it. (Maybe he’ll get a little settlement?) Above: a screenshot of the post in which BuzzFeeᴅ included a (“a”!) copyrighted photograph.

But you just can’t stop top BuzzFeeᴅer Matt Stopera! He’ll do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He’s an artist and a machine.

Litigant and photographer Kai Eiselein lives near the Washington-Idaho border — great part of the world! His top wedding package rate is $3,000. He has some very nice bird photos.

The photographer is… representing himself. (Oh well!)

I still maintain that whatever lawyer told BuzzFeeᴅ honcho Jonah Peretti that “assembling a photo into a list of other photos” is “transformative use” got their JD by mail-order.
