Landmark Law Case – Photo Blogger VS Manila Bulletin
The latest talk in the Philippine Blogosphere - Anton officially sues Manila Bulletin. Anton comments:
I finally did it.. with the help of my copyright lawyer atty vera. i sued a major daily, a 108 year old newspaper that used my photo without permission. The same newspaper that threatened to slap me with a criminal case if continued my claim.
Very few have the capability and the resources to actually challenge a media giant like Manila Bulletin(MB). Even fewer have the courage. I've personality met Anton and I think he's just the man for it.
He faces a tough challenge ahead. Expect MB to do all softs of legal technicalities here. Should he win, he'll make history. This is probably the first time an EXIF file will be used as evidence in the Philippines.
A friend comments that these kinds of cases are the ones that become textbook Law School lessons.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
