Are people allowed to get away with this?

there are some really sick people in this world...who take people's myspace pics, take people's yahoo 360s pics, etc...and take their head shot, and make nude photos...people take people's pics on the streets and do it too...


you could have a family member take your childhood pics and do this, or a friend...who can you trust these days? its sick...


the technology is causing so many problems...especially the internet...


if someone makes photos like this, and posts them online and pretends to be you...when that is not you...


or if someone takes photos like that and blasts them all over the place, internet, magazines, tv, etc...


are you allowed to sue them for slander?


identity thief?


what could you sue them for?


what kind of legal action can you take for people trying to be you, posting nude pics that they made, etc.?


thanks.

If they depict you doing something morally repugnant or criminal, you COULD possibly sue them for damages of emotional hardship, social interference and harm to future financial income. Digital codes are like DNA; even if you spice them with others there is a remnant of the gennom unless they work the file so it is distorted and transcripted into an other image code so comparability to your identity becomes impossible, then interpretation and co-branding with your name become an identity issue. Even cartoons or picture parodies may be grounds for civil suit.
Reply:I believe you could sue them for slander and identity theft.
Reply:if you post pictures on the internet for everyone to see and someone uses them, i dont think that is a crime, now if they try to impersonate you, then I think that might be.
Reply:If you post pictures on myspace.com or youtube.com, you lose all rights to privacy. Read the fine print on the user agreements -- you basically abandon any rights you may have had concerning the pictures you posted the minute you posted them. Yes, it's sick for someone to take your headshot and make nude photos with it, but unfortunately it's not against the law.
Reply:I agree with you. Some people do that all the time. But Idk if you could sue for it. Maybe look it up on the internet to see if you can. I've seen soooo many people do it day after day. And theres no point in it. But some people have low self-esteem and do it to make them feel better about one's self. But still I agree in every aspect that it is wrong.
