Media group rages against theatre’s use of Dylan Thomas photographs

A Dublin media company has been awarded €1,500 after suing a non-profit community theatre group in Scotland for unauthorised use of photographs of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

Pablo Star Media Ltd in Dublin sued Tron Theatre Ltd, a Glasgow-based organisation which aims to make theatre more accessible to the public.

They had brought the breach of copyright action at Dublin District Civil Court over unauthorised use of photographs on Tron Theatre’s Storify.com social media channel when they were promoting a play about the poet in 2014.
