The facebook think is doing well for him he has meat on the table almost every single night and is a vegetarian. He has to give it all to his dog who is starting to dip on the middle. For him to have some pissed off photographer in the news red in the face threatening to sue him is a thing I know he knows he can live without. In other words bad PR. He's not going to create it for himself for a few lousy extra bucks. Why kill the cash cow... Woof! I have more than a few photographer friends who like me feel free to show their work fairly extenevely on FB. And a few who only show their own face in silhouette as the NSA is going to steel his precious bodily fluids as they track his cell phone down the highway when he climbs out of his car how can they do that if they don't know what he looks like? Just cause your paranoid doesn't mean they're not going to kill you. But they know if they do they have to not create a real embarrassing situation so its they who are red in the face in the news. There's no money a red face.
