Can copyright infringement claims be negotiated without a lawyer?

I don't understand how the "damages" amount is decided on for image copyright. Trying to claim one million vs 1000 isn't much different if the person doesn't have the money to pay for it.



What are the options of an individual who is not part of a business if they get hit with a massive copyright claim that is unaffordable. Is it best to contact and try to negotiate or best to just sweep it under the rug and see if it progresses to the point of a proper copyright claim?



I got a claim from a company called copytrack asking for 1400 in damages for one single image. This is a huge amount of money considering I run this website as a hobby and it would take me 2 years to even earn that much before i consider the costs associated.



I live in the EU and copytrack is based in Germany (not the same EU country as me). It looks like the copyright holder is american, but they have not given me any information. It was a simple you have infringed on our clients image, pay us right away to avoid legal issues kinda message. I don't want to blindly pay but at the same time I am worried.
