They are being totally unapologetic, and have said that it would be a “bad business decision” for me to expect to be reasonably compensated for the use of my art. Instead of compensating me, they have chosen to pay a large law firm to fight me, and have even asked the judge to order me to pay THEIR legal fees.
This is fairly close to how pre-prez, real estate mogul Trump got out of compensating contractors who he claimed had done shoddy work (so why pay them anything). Use his wealth and power to threaten them with destructive litigation.
