What I’m interested to know is why a news organisation would want to pay for pics of LARPing Nazis when you could probably find as many actual Nazis to photograph as you need in any major urban centre

The article that image comes from was about a man who changed his name to Hitler. He also changed the names of his children. His daughter is now Eva Braun. He named himself after Hitler and his daughter after Hitler's lover.

Somebody call child services. Possibly for the fifth time.

https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/local/hunterdon-county/2017/05/09/hunterdon-isidore-hitler/314508001/

That's the article and I just noticed that the image in question were removed. I'm guessing the photographer is a Nazi lover who doesn't want his work used in anything making fun of Nazis lol. These lawyers probably felt pretty good about themselves after taking on the mainstream media that is a small town New Jersey paper.

Haha of course "quality contributor" and r/legaladvice powermod thepatman said they should pay. He's notorious for giving lovely legal advice and deleting comments telling him so.

He's also not a lawyer - he's a cop. But everybody knows that all cops are highly trained law experts of course.

That is absolutely 100% what they are. Photographers sign up for their service, and their law firm then uses reverse image searches to find where their "property" is being used. Then they have an in-house algorithm that actually calculates the amount of money they should threaten to sue for based off the site's popularity, traffic, and something that somehow determines a "possibility of payment." It auto-drafts a letter based off a select template, and then sends it off to the webmaster, hoping they'll be so threatened by legal action that they'll see all them big ol' numbers and settle for the lowest offered. If it does get settled, Higbee and ASSociates end up getting 60% of the settlement, and their client gets 40% (or lower, depending on the additional services used). They've been running this racket for about 15 years now, and spend a TON of money sanitizing their SEO results so all the negative poo poo about them doesn't come up first, as well as making fake comments and fake threads in various parts of social media of fictitious events that never occurred, with the sole purpose of scaring people into thinking that it's in their best interests to immediately settle claims with them by paying cash ASAP. They've also purchased themselves an A+++++ BBB rating, which means absolutely jack poo poo, since the BBB is a for-profit service that will give your business any drat grade you choose if you pay them enough cash.

Their entire service from the ground up is an absolute scam, and I'm actually quite glad they sent me this letter, because it has energized me to actually start going public again with how much hot garbage they are.
