“Nothing’s gone wrong with Theranos… Consumers love it,” says investor | Ars Technica: "In recent months, medical testing company Theranos has been slammed by media reports and federal inspections that say its blood testing devices don’t work.

Snapchat's response to stealing artwork - Business Insider

Snapchat's response to stealing artwork - Business Insider: "Snapchat has responded to allegations that it stole artwork for its selfie filters and other graphics."

Apparently nobody told these artists to register their work at the US Copyright Office and thereby be entitled to statutory damages of $40,000USD per infringement. Stolen art wouldn't seem like such a bargain then, would it?

The best way to register a lot of images all at once is by registering a collection.
