Hey everyone
I've just found myself in a sticky situation, after a recent breakup (last night) my one eyed monster has refused to allow me to use our previously shot images on my website purely because I broke up with him?
Pathetic I know-
But can he legally do that?
I've found this post under the FSC, an outline of 2257 Regarding the use of images on adult social sites and such:
As noted briefly above, the Justice Department now recognizes that some images are produced in truly private settings (e.g. a married couple may tape themhaselves having sex), and it now concedes that no 2257 requirements will apply to those situations. But it has given no indication of just how far this concession goes. What if an image is not produced for sale or trade but contemplating free Internet distribution, as where a social network user decides, just for fun or to show off, to display ?everything? to those on the site? What if an image is not produced for sale or trade per se but for exchange as part of a swingers? club, where the point is not to accumulate images but to arrange for sexual contact? Numerous questions like this remain to be sorted out. But there is now a basis for recognizing that the production of some images is just too far removed from commerce to be burdened by Section 2257 at all.
He did not sign 2257 Docs, so I understand that I CAN NOT SELL IT- but on social areas of my soon to open site, which would fall under the terms and regulations of an 'adult network' I think I can still use them with out the docs- no?
Consent was given at the time of the shoot and transmittion of all media, but no he seems to think he take away consent purely outta SPITE?
I know adult networking sites are kinda a gray area with 2257, but what about consent to use the images- is that a life long verbal agreement or can he change his mind?
I'm really only worried about one pic, my favorite, that I want to be able to use as I like, but what are MY RIGHTS to this image?
Thnx
Pam
