Well, technically it's %5 of the gross, so I wouldn't call it pennies. $100k for using someones photo illegally for 20 years is ridiculous. Considering the RIAA can sue a person for tens of thousands for having one illegal MP3, the amount of money a person is entitled to for having millions of copies of his face made should be in the millions.
Nestle knows that they can drag it out but probably not change the amount, considering this country's stance on intellectual property. There will be a $6 million settlement in a few months.
