Read, consult a real lawyer.. not just those who play one on the internet. Especially read about the direct claims made against you. Right of Publicity is interesting. Don't listen to the content providers who post, because there's a definite difference between their unknown skanks and celebrity skanks.

Here's one article from UCLA Cyberspace Law that you can do some research from:

Hello ? would you fucking read the thread fist before posting ?
Who did I steal the pictures from ? Who do they belong to? Who am i going to buy them from ? Maybe I should call Britney Spears and pay her ?

Celebrity pictures are taken by paparazis and even fans. I bet they didn't ask APIC to protect their rights because pictures belong to them.
How do you think newspapers post pictures ? You think they pay the celebrities for them ?

"I have a case on at the moment. A Czech magazine, like the ones they sellin the supermarkets in the US, stole one of my pics from the net and printed it."

Charly, which magazine? (Just curious...)

A lot of the pics you posted are clearly studio shots scanned from magazines. So please, for the love of god, shut your pie hole.

Vittorio sells "legal" celebrity content that he shot himself, that includes the Britney Spears beach shots.

gothweb - suck my ass, prick

Brujah - i do promote CelebTicket and use their content

Well, we learned something here :

1 - Don't do celeb sites or use celebrity pictures to sell something. Why risk something when there are 10000000000's of niche out there?

2 - If you do use celeb pictures and receive an e-mail from APIC. Do not post a message here about it.

3 - Have a nice day :winkwink:

What site does he run?
