Creepy website. I bet those women didn't consent to having their pictures being used like that. This isn't /g/.

  Those look like pictures take from movies and popular media?

    I guess now I just learned they are members of a Korean girl group. Not sure they'd approve of their pictures being used to promote "linuxreviews.org".

      Doesn’t matter if they approve it or not, they almost certainly signed a release form, whoever owns the copyright gets to decide what use is allowed.

      Most likely they are not the copyright holders so there's nothing to approve. Why so obsessed about random k pop pictures?
      • thiccly 7y ago
        There is something to approve. There is a copyright holder and the way these images of the women are being used is a creepy form of advertising.

          Would you describe it as creepy if these were a bunch of images containing popular anime characters instead of kpop band members?

      I agree in that living in Korea they probably have to use Internet Explorer...

  Are you worried about their legal rights in the images? If you're part of a performing group, having images of you splashed all over accompanied by statements of how much people like you ("Who is the most talented Twice member and why is it Nayeon?") is generally considered to be a good thing.

    >having images of you splashed all over accompanied by statements of how much people like you If only. These are selfies of women being used in the logo space. It changes to a new selfie every time you reload. Very creepy.

      Do you have a screenshot of what you’re referring to? I can’t see it

      It looks like they're pictures of women from K-pop/Korean popular media groups overlayed with the site's name. It doesn't look like they're really selfies in the sense we understand it.

        Well for a website about a permissively-licensed operating system, the author clearly has no problems violating copyright licenses by using these girl's photos in branding.

  Pop stars are known to be fairly discreet and private people.
