What probable risks are there to copyright violation?
Imagine you make a comment on Twitter or Reddit.
I take an image of your comment (I might blurry your personal info), and post the image on my (commercial) website.
You are the copyright owner of that comment. I cannot use (unless it falls under "fair-use") that content without your permission for my website.
However, if I do it anyways, what probable legal risks am I running? What are the worst-case scenarios?
The reason I ask is that I see many do this, with zero repercussions, and yet a friend of mine, who studied law, tells me not to do it because I could get sued. Sued for what? Surely the worst-case scenario is that somebody writes to me and asks me to take their comment down, and I'll just do it?
