You took the picture in question...timer??

Just because you "own" something does not mean that is copyright or trademark protected.....

It doesn't apply because she posted in a public forum. Her complaint is that the site was password protected, and that it doesn't constitute a public forum.


The defense would be, "She put it on the most public of forums possible and knew the consequences of doing so. Giving people access without solidly verifying their identity as per the 2000 Digital Identity Act is essentially giving it out to strangers and thus it's a public format."

Everyone owns the copyright to their own image or likeness and are thus protected by copyright laws.

....but that implies that she knows FACTUALLY where the picture came from....is that true?

There's no way to prove that.

I'm gonna start emailing my picture out to random yahoo and hotmail addresses (brute force with a bit of random thrown in - dictionary with mutation) with a picture of me bent over showing my o-ring to them.
along with the picture will be some text letting them know that I'm gonna sue for them having that picture. not to mention that I find it very offensive and an invasion of my privacy.

after that I'm gonna have some peanut butter.

No she can't prove who took it. But she could sue Triedia to remove the pics, and possibly for slander.

But it won't stand up in court.

...how is slander applicable?

Well, it's applicable if she can get someone like Ryan to read into the "spirit of the law".

But she's basically S-O-L. The site didn't ensure non-repudiation of the users, and thus can't ensure that the people downloading her picture were who they said they were.

Gotcha.

Thanks.
