What's the moral principle at stake here that drives this into the ethical domain?
- thfuran 4y agoThere doesn't have to be one in this specific case for their claim to be true.
- abofh 4y agoConsent
- daneel_w 4y agoWhose consent? The model's, who never owned the rights to the photograph, or Playboy who does? Both parties gave consent to a million readers across the world to see the full picture.
- CharlesW 4y agoThis is not how photo licensing works. Photos don't magically become public domain because they've been published. There was never any license for it to be re-published and re-distributed in the context of test imagery.
- throw009 4y agoSo you're saying that we must ethically source images because it hurts playboys bottom line.
- daneel_w 4y agoThe "turmoil" around the use of this image was never about legality, licensing or royalties. By agreeing to the contract, and by publishing the picture, the publisher and the model gave their "social consent" for everyone to see it. In a fit of moralism the model had a change of mind about the picture; but likely not about her economic gain.
- bobleeswagger 4y agoWhat does consent have to do with a commercial photo shoot in a public magazine?
- ip26 4y agoPrivacy? I don’t know, I’m not a legal scholar, but it seems clear to me that if someone wants old pictures of themselves removed from circulation, it is ethical to consider it. Our legal and ethical systems both try to avoid permanently chaining you to decisions you regret.
- sllabres 4y agoI haven't read about the background story and the new website but I hadn't thought that she thinks so especially I have read [1] some years ago. But as said I don't know the new developments regarding the famous photo.
