Ok, I got some experience in this.

I've been contacted by Lin Milano, she's a bitch. She wrote a very nasty letter.

It doesn't matter if your site is hardcore, softcore or non nude. Cause mine was non nude and she wanted pictures of Kathy Ireland taken down.

I wasn't actually breaking the law, because I WAS NOT DIRECTLY making money off the pictures. I looked up the section of the law that she said I was violating, if I had money I could have fought it in court.

But here is what my attitude was. Kathy Ireland is a celebrity, if she doesn't want her pictures available on my site then I will respect that personal request and take down the pictures. If everyone takes down Kathy Ireland pictures and you don't see her face on the internet, how much is she going to be worth as a model? Who will even remember who she is, I only remember her name when someone talks about this subject.
She now disgusts me as a person.

I'm not paying for anything that she can profit from anymore, no posters, no calendars, no movies. And everyone that was involved won't support her either.

Lin Milano, is doing more damage to her clients then help.

As far as I'm concerned if you are a celebrity making money off your fame and how well you are known, then you have no right to tell people if they can post fan sites or not. Fuck what copyright says about images, it shouldn't apply to famous people.
And if I take the pictures myself, it's my business to do what I please with them.

I never stand up in front of a big group of people and expect what I say and do not to be heard and seen by others.

Anyway, stick away from the ones represented by Lin Milano, cause she has a stick up her ass.

Most other celebrities don't do shit, cause it's bad publicity for them. Look at the Enquirer, they rarely get sued by a celeb. It happens, but not that often.

Wow this subject really gets me wound up

Ok.
Peace,
Pete Dogg

P.S. Proper Names can be trademarked, but it's not easy. OJ tried and his name it not that usual. Britney Spears and Anna Kournikova are common names.
