What is the law on putting someones picture on the internet without their permission? Or IS there a law on it?

You should be fine unless it degrades them."What we have to accomplish at this time is all the more clear: relentless criticism of all existing conditions, relentless in the sense that the criticism is not afraid of its findings and just as little afraid of the conflict with the powers that be."

haha ya thats the problem. If I have embarassing pictures of someone, and somehow find a way to scan them, and my buddy puts them on his website, can I get rolled?Comment

nope.
i believe the law is that you took that photograph, you own it, you can do whatever you want with it, as long as you do not alter it, or profit from its release without proir approval from the person you took the picture of.Comment

Except in some rare instances you should be fine.Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - TygerComment

What about the Star Wars kid? I heard that the kid from that Starwars video had to change to a private school and all and his parents sued the kids who put it up on the internet.

They didnt shoot the video. Therefore they do not have the rights to it, from what I understand at least.Originally posted by AcemanPB

Any one know why paparazzi can take embarassing pictures of celebs in public places and the get posted every where, but tv networks have to pixilate peoples faces out shows??
And you took the picture, you posess the picture (with no proof it isn't yours) then do as you please with the pictureComment

There is no expectation of privacy when it comes to your face and/or your person. That is why, when you or any celebrity is out in public, they can take your picture. YOU are open for discovery, meaning you are there and its fine to take your picture. Now, if you try to degrade that persons integrity or thier name in any way, by editing the picture or useing it for your own gain or to lower that persons social position in any way, well thats where CyberLaw comes into play. I dont know anything about that.Originally posted by Twisted Greed
