Photogr-Copyright Troll Christopher Sadowaki using Robert Miller to file suits

[kingkendall]

Christopher Sadowski who has filed over 70 copyright  suits over the past 4 years is now filing suits using photog Robert Miller as his proxy.  It's Sadowski who is registering images with copyright office as Miller's agent.  I don't know if anybody on the forum has seen this before.  But, it appears to be a new wrinkle.  Those getting sued by Miller who come across this forum might like to know this information.

That's a very interesting find! My guess is that Miller and Sadowski run in the same photography circles, which probably lead to the Higbee connection. Based on your post, it sounds like Sadowski is only doing the registration certificates for Miller. I highly doubt Sadowski is directly participating in any of the litigation efforts beyond referring Miller to Higbee. Still very interesting though. It's these types of details that make this forum a valuable resource for people.

If you think these cases aren't all about Christopher Sadowski first and foremost, you're not paying attention to Sadowski's history.

I noticed that pattern on another case a few months ago, though it may not have been a case involving Miller.   I am not sure what the relevance is. So one NY Post photographer helps other NY Post photographers register their works.
