Question about Pictures of Me?
 

I was photographed for Penthouse about a year ago and I would like to use the pictures for my new website, would they get mad if I did?

if they own the pics, you will be in copyright violation and they will have the right to sue you.

i don't know if they'd be mad, though...

why not have a friend take pics of you? you can still say you appeared in penthouse, and you'll be safe from breaking the law.

Get a digital camera and take your own pics.

uhhh...WHICH issue? hehe..

Hook me up!!

Stang

Take your own pics?? What, in the mirror?
Just kidding.

Green air...its better than clean air.

Why don't you contact penthouse about it?

give me the url of your pics and I'll look into it. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

Talk to Penthouse first. If they have a problem with it, then talk to Tanker, He can set up a shoot for you, and then you will have all the pics you need all yours. And to be honest, if your really penthouse material, i'll be willing to bet you can get any photographer or for that matter, any pervert with a camera to do a shoot of you , for you. Call Tanker and Lensman if you need a pervert to take the shoot. If your on the east coast call me. I can hook you up. But in all seriousness, check with penthouse first and also check your contract that you have with them. You already may be ok with the pics you have.

She Will Do Anything For You!

sexy

i fucked her

he fucked me too

Btw Lensman, never got a chance to say this to you. Those Amateur pages, like you just posted, have made me flip so many times years ago. And I swear, if I didn't have so much trouble with my VISA card back then (long story, it was stolen and used on a porn site, I was never able to charge it back), I would've been a customer many times over. Those are killer sites. Mind if I rip them off completely? :1orglaugh

I totally agree... that tour is incredible!

Penthouse doesn't like when models who have been in the magazine start their own site and then use Former Penthouse Model or have the Penthouse logo on their site.

They had an industry ad in AVN or Klixxx last year about this issue and said they would aggressively pursue site operators who do this.

Penthouse is supposedly having $ probs according to the buzz going around. He even has his NYC townhouse up for sell for $20 Mil. I think circulation has gone way south compared to what it used to be also.

why was this bumped?

Cindy i'd go for it. Every site of a Playmate, Pet or pornstar that i've been in the girls have had pictures from things they've done.
Do they all get permission from the companies those images/vids belong to? Doubt it. As long as your aren't re-selling them or selling prints of them or something the chances are slim you'll ever hear from them about it. And if you did, it would be 'Please take down our property from your members area'.

Penthouse is having serious money problems, most likely will not survive.

I can see where they could prevent the use of the logo on her site, that's definitely making a case for copyright infringement. However there's no way for them to keep her from using the descriptor of Penthouse Pet, etc so long as it's true.

Terri Welles and Playboy went round and round about this issue not too many years ago and the judge agreed with Terri on usage -- it would be completely ridiculous to expect her not to call herself a Playboy Playmate on her site since that's what she was.

what was in the contract with penthouse?
there should be an item identifying if you can use your penthouse pictures or not...

Use the Penthouse words in the page titles too... it's good for search engines..

Bad advice Mutt.

Cindy check the model release and contract. If Penthouse paid you for the shoot they own the pictures end of story.

Check with them and ask if you can use them, but I doubt if they will agree. They might allow you to use the pics in a "Portfolio" type site, but that will be it. Kimmykim is right, they cannot stop you telling people that you worked for them and were the Pet of the month or just in the magazine. They probably would not care if you use one or two of their pics and their logo. But the effective word here is THEIR they paid, they own. Ask them first.

Read those releases you sign... I think you give up everything.

Legally, they can do what they like with them... and you, well, you can enjoy your flat session fee and go fuck yourself. :)

oh Cindy C
will you play with me
