Summary
Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
Moses Austin(1761-1821) was a pioneer settler of Texas who, in 1808, founded the town of Herculaneum, MO, the first Anglo American town west of the Mississippi River. In 1821, Austin received a grant to bring 300 colonists into Texas, the first permission for Anglo-Americans to settle in Spanish Texas. On his way home he was attacked by highwaymen and died shortly afterward in Missouri. Before he died, he asked his son, Stephen F. Austin, to fulfill his dream of settling Anglo-Americans in Texas.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
