HQ... better check copyright laws. lol Britney or whomever can sue you, the sponsor and any one in between. You are all equally quilty and max penalty in fines is 250,000 bucks PER picture. They can name you all as defendents in the same case in the court of their choice and YOU have to foot the bill to get there as well as pay their attorney fees in most cases.
If YOU don't have a license for ANY public figure that you use on your site, you are up the proverbial creek. And if a sponsor tells you they have one, demand a copy of it and better follow up and make sure its legit. Just ask the Enquirer paper about screwing with celebs! PO one and they will all come after you. I don't remember the star, but her mother scours the net looking for celeb pics and she will find you sooner or later. Stick with porn celebs or you could be the one stuck. Don't think the federal prosecuters use ky or vaseline either.
Cmon, use some common sense here. How many celebs do you think would sign license over for ANY of their pics to show on porn sites? (Other than porn stars) Especially Britney and alot of the rest of the new ones. That would majorly scew their careers and for what? A few thousand bucks versus millions they'd lose????? As the hubby says, just WHAT the h*ll are you thinking??
