The singer Jennifer Lopez 55, is being sued for posting photos of you without permission. According to the BBC, the photographer Edwin Blanco and the Backgrid the agency for which he worked, filed lawsuits claiming that they have the copyright of two photos published by the star on their social networks.
On Instagram, Estrela shared a carousel of her own photos coming to the Amazon MGM Studios and Vanity Fair party in Los Angeles the night before this year’s Golden Globe in January.
By the publication, the photographer responsible for the registration and agency are requesting up to R $ 849 thousand compensation for each photo. According to the BBC, they also argued that the photos were used “to promote Mrs. Lopez’s public appearances, increase user engagement, increase the ability to share and give credibility to your brand content.”
They also claim that the singer used the images to “highlight the designer of her clothes and jewelry, taking advantage of the advertising of the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand partnerships”.
Anyone who is in a photo does not hold the copyright of the image – they usually belong to the photographer or the company to which they work. In 2020, for example, Kendall Jenner was also prosecuted by paparazzis for posting photos of herself – taken by photographers – on social networks.
“The fact that a person is portrayed in a photograph does not give them any kind of copyright ownership of photography, nor any right to make use of photography,” said Jeffrey Sedlik, a professor of the art center College of Design in California and a copyright specialist.
