First of all, I have no association with the content provider and this is not spam. That's out of the way.
I was browsing another adult webmaster board yesterday and I saw a spam for some guy who is selling exclusive "licensed" Britney Spears pictures and a five minute video. I know that we've talked about celeb content before, but generally people say "If you didn't take it, then you can't use it." Well, in this case, he did take the footage, and at a public beach too. So, I'm wondering what the content gurus (Unseen, Charly, etc.) have to say about this one. Here's what I think:
1. This is legal to sell and to use. Paparazzi photographers sell this kind of stuff all the time to magazines that charge to see it. Most of them are not really "news" magazines, but those trashy rumor magazines and tabloids. There is no difference between them and an adult site publishing these pics.
2. I think it's pretty tacky that this guy chased her around, but she was in public. In the sample video clip Britney calls him a motherfucker and insults him for taping her. I wouldn't do what he did myself, but Britney is making plenty of money off the fame, so she doesn't have that much to complain about.
3. Britney is still fucking hot.
Now, what do the GFY amateur lawyer's think? Legal? Illegal? Would you put it on your site? Would you pay for it? Can you advertise the content on the outside of a paysite with her name and not get busted? It would be like putting her on the cover of a magazine that was shrink wrapped. It seems legal, but I don't know?
Here is the page with the sample pics and a video clip of the content he's selling:
