At the very least it's copyright infringement, although I'm not sure it's criminal copyright infringement.
- mylittlepony 14y agoI 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.
- transitionality 14y agoIt's perfectly legal. Anything that's in public is part of the public record.
- mylittlepony 14y agoThat's not true.
- transitionality 14y agoYes it is. It's how journalism works -- including paparazzi journalism.
- mylittlepony 14y agoHave 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 agoEveryone 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 agoClearly you don't know the law, and what's even worse your logic is broken. I give up.
