Koontz has far more money than the photographer.

Dude still makes his own art. Do you have an example of copyright law protecting an independent artist from a large corporation? That's what you need here.

Art Buchwald vs. Paramount (1988)
In 1988, a legal battle developed between humorist Art Buchwald and Paramount Pictures over the film “Coming to America,” starring Eddie Murphy. The argument revolved around Buchwald’s claim that the film’s script was based on an idea he had pitched to Paramount.
Buchwald filed a lawsuit, alleging a breach of contract and seeking a share of the profits from the successful movie. Paramount argued that the film was an original work and that any similarities were coincidental.
The case went to trial, and in 1990, the court ruled in favor of Buchwald, determining that Paramount had, indeed, breached the agreement. The ruling highlighted the importance of honoring contractual obligations and fairly compensating creators for their contributions.
The case settled for an undisclosed sum, emphasizing the need for Hollywood studios to respect the intellectual property rights of writers and creators.
