Good on the school system for preparing those kids for the real world! ^/s?

Scummy move by the teacher for sure, but 1.6 million dollars is an insane amount.

The teacher was selling prints of the art for hundreds of dollars. The article doesn't say how much profit they made, but it could be substantial. There's also the privacy violation, and split amongst ten kids it's $160,000 per victim. Don't get me wrong, that's not nothing, but it seems reasonable for such a wilful and knowing violation of copyright, rights to one's image, and privacy rights. (Assuming all alleged facts are true.)

My son’s art teacher probably nicked my son’s senior project.

Can’t prove it, but it is gone. We really wanted it.
