Interesting. I have personally experienced the same kind of violtion of rights many times from media and other professional authors, and I have several times asked for compensation which they have always granted. This includes large national media and the state broadcaster. I have usually claimed 500-1,000 USD, and always received the claimed amouny without the use of lawyers.
