You miss my point. I mean that the fact that someone used his photo means that they discovered something he made, amongst the countless number of things floating around in the internet, and as such there is a small amount of satisfaction that could be taken from it. Indeed, I did say that I feel he should be compensated however, so I don't understand the sense of animosity in your comment.
No animosity here. I get what you're saying, but we all know that "Google Images" will be the answer to the question "where did you get the VHS image from". The answer won't be "Gough Lui".
And the choice of image wasn't decided by "Netflix" but by a designer probably trying to meet a deadline. Personally I would not feel one tiny bit of satisfaction, but I understand and accept that you would if you were the photographer.
