Samsung, on the other hand, was a bit more apologetic. The company immediately took down the photo from its social networks and disqualified Bogdan for copyright infringement. Additionally, the company also sent Koentjoro a personal message apologizing for the mistake and assuring the photographer that the “winner” would not be receiving his prize.
