"The complaint claims that Zillow's unauthorized use of CoStar images amounts to one of the largest real estate image infringement cases in history. Zillow's theft of tens of thousands of CoStar Group's copyrighted photographs is nothing short of outrageous, said Andy Florance, founder and CEO of CoStar Group, in a statement. Zillow is profiting from decades of CoStar Group work and the billions of dollars we have invested."
"According to CoStar, it holds the largest collection of real estate photographs in the world, producing more than 2 million original images annually through a network of in-house and contracted photographers. Zillow was previously involved in another copyright infringement suit brought by real estate photography firm VHT. Zillow was found liable by a jury and was ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages by the court."
CoStar filed a lawsuit in late July accusing Zillow of rampant copyright infringement involving listing photographs. The complaint alleges Zillow's unauthorized use of CoStar images amounts to one of the largest real estate image infringement cases in history. CoStar's CEO called Zillow's appropriation of tens of thousands of copyrighted photographs outrageous and said Zillow is profiting from decades of CoStar work and billions invested. CoStar reports holding the largest collection of real estate photographs worldwide and producing more than 2 million original images annually through in-house and contracted photographers. Zillow previously faced a separate VHT copyright suit where a jury found Zillow liable and ordered millions in damages.
