		<description>Did you notice that Ms. Knauer never disclosed the results of her litigation?  Despite prodding from the panel and some attendees, she never disclosed the final result which I am given to understand, (I have no personal knowledge) was the receipt of monies which far exceeded her attorneys fees.

Perhaps I (and the other panel members) am/are misinformed regarding the outcome of her suit.  If so Ms. Knauer could set us and you straight by merely stating how much, if any, money she collected.  She complained about her experience but never specified the basis for her complaints.

While I don&#039;t know what your comment about me means,  I do know that Ms. Knauer&#039;s statements about what cases I do and don&#039;t take were blatantly and factually inaccurate. She has never been a client of ours nor has any knowledge of our office practices.  Nevertheless, she stated repeatedly - even after being challenged by me - that our office &quot;does not represent photographers in infringement cases where the work was not &#039;pre-registered&#039;&quot;.  Such statement was and is false, she was advised by me and my wife (who works in the office) that it was blatantly false but she repeated it again and again nevertheless.

Finally, forty of the approximately 100 attendees signed up for our private (and free) posts, several others purchased our book &quot;Photographer&#039;s Survival Manual&quot; and dvds authored by Jack Reznicki and yours truly.  After the hundreds of speaking engagements I have done over the years I well know not to expect that alone and/or with Jack will  reach everyone in the audience.  If I failed to convey to you the simple message that (at least) every image you shoot should be registered, no exceptions, always - then I have cause for regret.

Best wishes,

		<description>What could have been a wonderful and informative evening turn out to be an exhaustive event for most of the photographers in attendance.  This was a 3 hour event that allowed basically no room for questions.  It was mostly a &quot;beat your chest of my accomplishments&quot; of the undistinguished distinguished panelists.  You would never believe Jeff Sedlik was a professor with his more than difficult explanations of the Copyright Law. When will Ed Greenberg finally get his own TV reality series?  The most enlightening aspect of the event was photographer Karen Knauer who told the real truth behind her experience with infringement.  Then the attorneys took offense to her reality bite with attorneys.  Know it or Blow it, these panelists sure did Blow it!</description>
