Is It Illegal For Someone To Post My Picture On The Internet Without My Consent?

Someone posted pictures of me and my family and I want to know what I can do about it. They are normal photos but the website they have them on defames my families character.


This question is one of the latest legal issues to emerge following on from the boom of the Internet. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer for this question, as it depends on several circumstances.

There was recently an example of a young girl who had a picture taken of her at a car wash by her friend. This was subsequently uploaded onto the photo-sharing website Flickr. Unfortunately, the picture was placed under Creative Commons: An online scheme which aims to allow photographers, graphic designers and other individuals the chance to use images without having to worry about copyright.

According to The New York Times, the picture of this young girl was modified and used on a billboard for a mobile phone company in Australia, with a slogan that said she was a pen friend that people could lose after getting their own handset. As the girl was distressed and insulted by a picture being used in such a way without her consent, a legal battle began between the family and Virgin Mobile, the company which was responsible.

In the case, it was found that Virgin Mobile was not responsible for this unfortunate outcome. As a result, unless the problem is related to child pornography, it may not necessarily be illegal for someone to post your picture on the Internet without your consent. Advice to ensure you are not affected includes placing the setting of your Facebook page on private to prevent the public from having access to your account.

So what your saying is that we should pitch in and get a billboard on his way home from work so he can see it every day...

Okay so what way does he go home from work?

I doubt he has a job....

Here is my take on this, anyone who is truly fearing for their safety is not going to want to take someone to court, it releases their aninimmity, and makes them public. I hope he realizes this, i'm not someone to be feared so it doesnt bother me.

Secondly my beliefe for all this shit is he was brutally humiliated on a forum where he was made out to be a badass, giving negative conjecture, threatening members, being an all around tool. He probably was picked on all his life and have no way of doing anything to control anyone, nothing he can do to actually scare or frighten someone so this is his way of having a "bigger and better" backer scare us for him. Problem is, when you start the house fire, and accidentally light the gasoline on your shoe, you're getting burned and it's still your fault.

So as I said before i'm not going to......SQUIRREL!
I saw a squirrel i saw a squirrel!

Those fuckin things, always givin me the bug eye.

Trolls are gonna troll

I think he's lying about the police like he lied about the supra

I love internet justice. :D

This is what you get for being a badass from behind a computer screen. I think ya'll just taught this young man a very important life lesson.
