Legal advise needed
Hey Guys/Girls-
I had something come up yesterday and I was wondering how I should approach it. RedXtreme and I had a picture taken in Hawaii at the Pro Bowl in which the photogragher it profitting pretty well from. He has sold it to Maxim Magazine and now to Hellsberg Diamond/KC Star. My question is I know that a public domain photo can be sold by the photographer but that photographer sold it to Hellsberg Diamond who turned that into advertisement. The problem is I haven't given anyone permission to use photo for anything and especially not to a company making money off an image of us. I looked up laws on this and from what I'm understanding you can use a photo in editoral but not advertising without permission. Any thoughts? |

My advice?
Consult a lawyer, not the morons that inhabit this place.

I agree, I just wanted a few other advise, I didn't think anything about it until people said that ain't right. Basically you are endorsing them without permission. My buddy said do you think they would put an ad with Tony G on it without him getting paid or at the very least compensated somehow? I know there are lawyers on these boards so I was just wondering if I should leave it alone or contact my lawyer? I love to hear others views if that is alright for a company to do that?

My advice... don't get legal advise from ChiefsPlanet members. Also, I remember you from myspace Chiefs groups. More advice from my experiences talking to you: I hope you've matured a lot or this place will eat you alive.

Don't you put yourself in this position when you decide to wear costumes and pose for pictures as a "celebrity"? I mean, my advice would be to not dress up and allow people to take pictures of you if you're that concerned.
