No, I meant about if the money from the copyright infringers is shared with the artist. When someone pays 1500 dollars in punitive damages, does the artist get 20% of the money?
Sorry, if my post was confusing.
Maybe Shudderstock can help us with that, or others who have been with Getty for a long time. I never saw a "punitive damages royalty" or anything like that, but my portfolio was small, perhaps I got lucky and they never had to involve their lawyers.
