Each image that was used without permission was an >infringement<. Since
you can ask for statutory damages of up to $3,000 >per infringement< if
you've registered your copyright, that threat escalated the Playboy Cease &
Desist letters from something the web sites could ignore to something they
had to consider seriously.
Again, within the context of the copyright law, anything that can be
copyright will be considered a 'work'. Also, groups of works will be
considered one 'work' as well under the compilation concept. That's why you
won't be able to isolate one article in a magazine or one page on a web site
from the conditions of the OGL.
