I believe if it's deemed as newsworthy and they're in public it's free game. I'm no lawyer though.

So if you do use that type content, I'd add some text to make it more of a "look what chicks will do for beads these days" type pitch.

I haven't had any problems using the content, but for me it's only some AVS sites, free sites and TGP pages.

I think with Girls Gone Wild a judge ruled it wasn't even pornography. I might have that wrong, maybe it was an issue with an under 18 girl who flashed that the judge ruled wasn't porn. I'm too lazy to google it.

GFY IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.

Talk to your lawyer.

a little rude, aren't we?

he truly gave you the best advice in the thread.

the laws on this vary from country to country, state to state and even county to county. the best course of action is to speak with a lawyer.

Correct advice is talk to a lawyer. That said... some interesting reading

Seems as though you're more likely to face a civil suit than face the government.

according to what has happened with joe francis:

as long as it was shot in a public setting it is fair game

but you're a dumbass if you come here for legal advice

your lawyer is your best friend in this situation

If you do not own copyright on images then you could be potentially sued if you are making income from said images. Also you have the legal issue of proving ages of "models".
Beyond that get a fucking lawyer.

Wow, that was quick? someone just had a link to article about ?girls gone wild? issue.. but it?s gone? From what I understand this type of content has more to with ?news? rather than ?pornography?? The girls were 16 and 17 btw.. why would it be pornography?????

Not for nothing, but all the knee jerk "talk to a lawyer" comments people are so quick to post are worse than useless, since it is A- common sense; and B- You couldn't even get five adult industry savvy First Amendment lawyers to agree on many of the complex issues we face, let alone any particular Joe Blow, Esq. one might retain.

If someone submits Mardi Gras content, it may be stolen. We've found our content EVERYWHERE even in some surprising places which shall remain nameless. We have more of this than just about anyone, and people LOVE it so much that they like to steal it.

DO NOT STEAL OUR CONTENT.

I'd stick with clips where it's obvious that the people on film are aware the camera is present. Would be much harder for them to claim they weren't aware.... blah... blah... blah...

The clips showing the subject's profile, where she's not looking anywhere near the camera and you couldn't possibly prove she's almost certainly aware a camera is present seems sketchy. Too easy for someone to come back and say she had no intention of being on film, blah... blah... blah... May well be you'd win a court case, but that's not exactly cheap.

The fact of the matter is you can be sued at any time. Think of it as a cost of doing business.

2257 you showed pink that is considered sexually explicit. I would not touch it. Tits and ass are liability enough.

In US you can be sued any time anywhere? I have been in small claims court three times over 1500 car which didn?t even belong to me?
This is brand new field for me so I just wanted to find out opinions of someone who has done it before?

How can it be legal if you don't have proof of their age?
Wouldn't that break that 2257 crap?

Stuff shot inside a club is considered on private property and falls under different rules than stuff shot on the street.

It is a very bad idea to use any one person's image for marketing (box covers, ads, etc.).

There are too many girls who will come right up to the camera and flash for nice beads, no reason to use shots that even look like the person may be unaware of it.
