You have the right to settle out of court for no more than $30,000, or be taken to court. You've violated federal law; you don't have a lot of options.

Is it copyright infringement upon the photographer's rights if you use a photo they have taken of your home or car or other property?
By the strict letter of the law yes it would be an infringement if you used the photograph without permission. Although you own the property in question the photographer owns the rights to his expression of that property.
Do you have to have a copyright to watermark photos?
Not necessarily, no, you can watermark a photo that is YOURS, but not one that is already someone else's before, because that would be copyright infringement.
How can you be cited for copyright infringement for use of a photo with no reference to a copyright?
Copyright protection is automatic, and notification is not required. Virtually any image you encounter is protected by copyright unless specifically noted otherwise.
Is it illgeal to print a photo from the web?
It can be illegal to print a photo from the web if you do not have permission from the copyright holder. Many images on the internet are protected by copyright law, so you should either purchase the rights to use the image or use images labeled for reuse under Creative Commons licenses.
A copyrighted photo taken from the web changed 100 percent from the original is this infringement of copyright laws There for in saying this is no longer the same picture as the original?
Technically yes it is. Because your edited photo required the original in order for you to make your derivation you would be guilty of infringement. Now as a practical matter the scenario you lay out makes it impossible for you to get caught however we're talking about copyright law here, not practicalities :-)
Can you have photos in articles you write for answers com?
Yes, though there shouldn't be copyright infringement. One photo can be easily attached through upload. More than one photo is a bit more involved but there is a process for putting more than one.
Does Plagiarism entail violation of intellectual property laws?
Not always. Plagiarism is making a false claim that you created something original. If you copied a public domain source, it is not a copyright infringement, but still plagiarism. For example, you download a NASA photograph (all works created by the US government are public domain in the USA), modify it and submit it to a photo contest as your original work. That is plagiarism, not copyright infringement.
How much do you need to change a photo to make it not copyright?
If the photo is altered for comedic effect, it may be used under the copyright exceptions for satire. However, no alteration can remove the copyright from a photo.
Does sale of a photo carry the copyright?
No: that physical print transfers to the buyer, but rights are maintained by the creator unless other arrangements are made.
If you scan a photo illustration of Mona Lisa from an art Magazin is it copyright infringment to use it as a CD cover without permission if so on whose rights are you are infringing?
You are infringing the rights of either the photographer who took the published photo or of the magazine, or both.
What are some examples of copyright laws?
Practically anything can be protected by copyright. Intellectual or physical property can be registered. In many cases registration is not required, it may later, have to be proved that the person claiming rights was the first to have the idea.
Is it illegal to develop someone else's pictures?
When a photo is taken, unless other arrangements (such as work made for hire) have been made, the photographer automatically controls the copyright. Anyone else claiming copyright on it would be infringing the creator's rights.
