A photographer who sued a US porn film company for using a picture of her aged 14 on the cover of one of its DVDs has won £82,000 damages.
Lara Jade Coton was ?horrified? that her self-portrait, which was on the internet, had been used as the DVD cover and face art for the sexually explicit film Body Magic without her permission.

Wow... And I bet the owner of the company hates torrent sites, but uses other peoples work to cut down on costs... Even 14 year old girls work.

It's a shame the were not able to sue for enough that it bankrupt the company.

WTF are they thinking, using an image they didn't own? Must be taking clues from the online side of the industry.

Talking about Flickr, they have a huge creative commons database. It just takes a few extra seconds to give the proper attribution and backlink to avoid any legal hassles.
