What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Someone took my pictures off of facebook - these were pictures of me and taken by me and were available no where else other than my personal facebook profile. They posted them on their blog and when I filed a DMCA notice the host took them down. A few days later the infringer filed a counter-notice. I spoke to some lawyers who say the law is on my side. What are my options in this case? I understand filing a false DMCA counter-notice opens the defendant to pay for my legal fees. Are there any other damages I can claim?
