Since Unit 4 mentions some CC license infringement cases as examples, I recommend adding a court case from the Netherlands of a photographer suing a website for using their photo without permission or compensation. The name of the court case is below.

ECLI:NL:RBMNE:2021:5887

The court case ended with the judge awarding the photographer (plaintiff) the following damages (excerpt is from the court case records).

"5.4. orders [defendant] to pay to [plaintiff] against proof of discharge:

€ 450.00 in damages, increased by the statutory interest as referred to in Article 6:119 of the Dutch Civil Code, with effect from 11 June 2021 until the day of full payment,

€ 67.50 in extrajudicial collection costs,

5.5. orders [defendant] to pay the costs of the proceedings on the part of [plaintiff], estimated at € 2,036.30 until the judgment of this judgment, of which € 1,702.00 in salary for the authorized representative."

This case demonstrates the enforceability of the CC license in other countries, such as the Netherlands.
