Correct me if I am wrong here but is it necessary for Joanne Pilchesky to get a release signed if she is to put someone's picture up on the internet. The DD site is really not considered News Media so wouldn't it be required of them to have some sort of release signed in order to use someone's (private citizens) photo.
I am telling you right now that if I end up speaking at a public meeting (especially if it is not televised) and my photo turns up on DD there will be hell to pay!
I want everyone to stop and think about one thing ... Joe Pilchesky is not a lawyer ... he's just a guy playing a lawyer on the internet. Please don't trust your legal needs to this man.
It's a great question. DD nor Joanneare registered media. I believe you'd have a strong case against them if your photo was posted without your permission. Look at something as popular as YouTube- even they are forced over and over to pull video and images from their site because of lack of permission. She can take all the pictures she wants in a public forum of whomever she chooses, but that doesn'tallow her to post them on a Web site, especially a hate site. Contrary to what the handful (with the multiple screen names) who post there believe,the overwhelming majority of people who know the site exists do not wish toat all beassociated with it or its contents.
I know this much ... if I ever find my picture posted there ... there will be a lawsuit filed within 24 hours ... if I wanted my puss all over the www I would put it out there myself!
I thought that's how it would work but was not sure ... thank you for your prompt answer to my question!
