I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I thought this was interesting.

The CBC is a national TV channel here in Canada similar to NBC, CBS, Fox.  Most cities have a local affiliate. Basically, they obtained permission from Leuthold to use some of her 9/11 photos in a special broadcast that they were going to air. The agreement was for one broadcast, but the CBC ended up broadcasting it several times during several years. Leuthold then sued them for over $21 million dollars for copyright infringement. Although she did win in court, she was only awarded less than $20,000.00 dollars. Very long read, but very interesting.
