They would definitely be real lawyers. They're not doing this out of legal ignorance, they know exactly how frivolous their threats are. The lawyers would be there to ensure they tread the line carefully between frivolous threats and actual extortion.

Just an average Joe here, taking pictures of bona fide Nazis sieg-heiling.

Of course they are "representing" the photographer, but the photographer is not a journalist, he's a glorified hobbyist, and apparently hanging out with real life Nazis.

Looking back at the beginning of this thread.

Lowtax posted:

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."

If I were Lowtax I would countersue them for trying to extort so little.

Sadowski’s LinkedIn says he’s fluent in Polish, but not a word about photography. Funny how someone asking for thousands of dollars per photo doesn’t mention it in a place intended to generate career interest.

I mean, I’ve been out of the graphic design business for six years and I still list it on my page.

Leonard J. Crabs IIRC costs like actual fake amounts of counterfeit monopoly money. That means dragging out the old monopoly printer haunting the house like the Thanksgiving turkey of last year and really it's just an intern fishing for a bite.

I'm thinking Lowtax chooses a goon for the fight (Lowtax isn't allowed to fight as the rules stipulate no cyborgs), who breaks his arm at the last minute. Just as it looks like the fight will default to Higbee , who is twirling his moustache while paying off the guy he paid to take out Lowtax's fighter, the doors are thrown open and Uwe Boll walks down to the ring. He's already in his boxing gear and throws off his robe before jumping into the ring. Uwe effortlessly defeats Higbee's champion, ending with an uppercut that launches him out of the ring to land on Higbee and Shaunteece. The film ends on Lowtax and Uwe doing a big Carl Weathers and Arnold Schwarzenegger handshake as Uwe says something like "Ze only Zometing Awful now is zat guy's face!"
