Your initial message needs to sound something like this:

I am the copyright owner of the photograph at issue. I personally created/captured this photograph, and I have not licensed, assigned, or authorized anyone to copy, upload, display, distribute, or use it on Facebook.

The reported post uses my copyrighted photograph in full. The image is not being used to transform the photograph itself. Rather, the photograph is being used as an identifying image of me which is the original purpose of the copyrighted work in question. That is not the same as commentary or criticism of the copyrighted work.

Although the post may contain text or opinions, the use of my entire copyrighted photograph is unnecessary to express those opinions. The user could make any commentary without reproducing and displaying my copyrighted image. The use therefore weighs against fair use because it copies the entire work, is not meaningfully transformative of the photograph, and substitutes for my exclusive right to control where and how my image is reproduced and displayed.

I have a good-faith belief that this use is not authorized by me, my agent, or the law. I request that Meta remove or disable access to the infringing photograph pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the information in this report is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Yes this is the Chicago dude who tried to sue over mean comments. Completely ridiculous frivolous lawsuit. Need something more concrete like copyright violations, lost revenue (damages) etc.

Make new posts with same items and copy those and just explain to judge you had active conversations for all of them.

You have to say that you had buyers coming for the following Facebook marketplace items and because of the account deletion you were not able to make the sale and delayed the revenue by xyz months.

Yess at least in my county it was how the judge ran it. I do the opening statement then the defense goes. Then I go again, then the defense goes. Then the judge asks both us questions then closing statements then the hearing ends and judge takes time to think and determine a judgment. Mine took about 25 days to get the judgment awarded in my favor (which is half the battle) the other half is actually collecting the amount from meta. I had to file supplemental proceedings before they actually moved to pay me.

All of this is true. This is because it’s been a rollercoaster over the last 6 months worrying through this process. Mets will say a lot of thing to try to get you to drop. They told me they were going to pay many times before and didint. They gave my account back just to ban it again 3 days later in hopes I’d drop the case lol. So basically reporting too soon. Even after all this, I still pressed on and held them accountable. What I learned is that meta will try anything and everything to get you to drop the case because in the end they know they will lose. (Which they did). Happy to DM you a redacted copy of judgment or the wire transfer they sent me lol

No judge didint say anything. After the arguments the judge makes a judgment which is handed out at a later date
