  Fascinating. Even more fascinating when you think that there is no guarantee that the person advertising is the person in the pictures. Rip photos from unsuspecting innocent FB profile, create a new one, post on fiverr, profit!

    In case someone too naive reads parent, I can count at least 3 crimes there: using someone else's image without consent (is there a name for that?), impersonation, and fraud.

      is there a name for that? At the very least it's copyright infringement, although I'm not sure it's criminal copyright infringement.
      • mylittlepony 14y ago
        I was talking about the protection of your personal image. Let me give you an example: Let's say you are walking down the street, and I take a picture of the street (perfectly legal). But then I crop and zoom the picture to show only your figure, and publish it. That's not legal. I don't know whether it belongs to copyright law (I could imagine something like 'you own the copyrights of any pictures taken of your image') or it's something else.

          It's perfectly legal. Anything that's in public is part of the public record.
          • mylittlepony 14y ago
            That's not true.
            • transitionality 14y ago
              Yes it is. It's how journalism works -- including paparazzi journalism.
              • mylittlepony 14y ago
                Have you studied the subject? I doubt it, so please stop. Paparazzi usually focus on public figures like actors, which don't have the same rights over their own image, since they have voluntarily exposed themselves to the public.
                • transitionality 14y ago
                  Everyone in a public area voluntarily exposes themselves to the public. Your images in public spaces are legal to record. If you disagree, try suing a security camera operator.
                  • mylittlepony 14y ago
                    Clearly you don't know the law, and what's even worse your logic is broken. I give up.
