Picture copyright honeypot

NutraCash said:

I know a guy who shoots photos for his business and then sues everyone who steals them. It's a very very long process. It also costs a lot with lawyers. If you wrote it correct, like "pay $100 fine or get sued" maybe some people would pay up if it was cheap enough. But most would just take it down.

I read somewhere it can be very profitable. This guy retired suing people for stealing his pictures.

I figured when life gives you lemons, you make lemonades. I got sued for copyright so why not turn this into a business idea?

I wouldn't sue some poor person. I would do a background check to make sure they are rich. I would sue corporations.

What do you think of this business idea?
I take some pictures everywhere I go.
I get them copyrighted with patent office. I think it costs $55 to copyright 750 pictures or something like that
I seo the pictures so they show up in google images
I wait for people to copy my pictures to their websites
I sue whoever copies my pictures
