Stealing Pics?Misrepresenting yourself, is it illegal?
540826
As long as they're not trying to sell something using that misrepresented image, or profit from it in any way, I don't think it's illeagal.\n\nBut, if the image is copyrighted, then they can get into trouble without getting the permission from the people who owns the image.\n\nDepending on the state you're in, the law may not allow someone to use your image.  Some states may see that as them trying to steal your identity, which is illeagal.

It is illegal to post for the public, information about you that is considered a breach of your reasonable expectation of privacy.  Now if you have provided any of the reposted information online in a public forum such as an open chatroom  or on your personal website they have the right to repost it unless you have copyrighted the material (such as your writing).  Or  if it's information like your phone number, real name, et cetera you can actually contact the owner of the website or service they are using to do this - it's tantamount to identity theft. \n\nIf the person is sending you threatening e-mail or messages through an IM service, you can save these and send them both to the service, the individuals ISP (Internet Service Provider), and the police.  In the case of the first two, it's a violation of the EULA (End User Liscense Agreement) or the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) at the very least and reporting it can have their right to use the services permanently revoked, or a warning will be sent.  For the police, it's either identity theft, or harassment and you may end up being able to prosecute those crimes in a court of law.  \n\nIf you can't just ignore them, the best place to start is to contact the person directly (if you haven't) and ask them to stop.  Should the problem persist send copies of all the harassing / derogatory comments to the owner of the service they are using to send them to you.  Most websites will actually have a link in their FAQ (if they are a company like Yahoo or a message board service) on what to do if you are being harassed by another user of their product and they will help you from there.

In some instances, yes...it depends on what it is being used for.  It is against the law, in most states, I believe, to photocopy any type of photo ID card for purposes of a credit or lending decision, because of lending regulations regarding race, sex, etc...

I don't think its technically illegal but it's not wise because you are violating someone else's privacy if you give out their full name.  I'm sorry you got in trouble and I don't think it's the school's place to correct an issue like this unless you did it while you were at school and in that case maybe the issue was more about using this type of website inappropriately. Either way, lesson learned, right? Don't use other people's names even if you're not saying something "bad" it still could be information they'd rather not have posted online.

While it shouldn't be illegal really, I mean it is YOUR yard if someone manages to take a picture and turn it into police you could get arrested for "indecent exposure" but really I don't think you have to worry about that.  Plus who's more disgusting, you peeing in your yard or the person taking the picture of you peeing? =)

Yes, because the girl is still a minor and even with consent of having the picture taken he could face probation. Usually thosecases don't go that far. The female usually denies ever posing for a picture like that, but there are a few cases where the males got charged for possession of pornographic images of a minor, even though the pictures were given as gifts, and/or pranks. The few cases where the males had them but was showing them off, they also got longer probation periods. The cases where the images were gifts they usually had them images confiscated and did community service, paid fines, and had probation. The rare cases that it didn't matter how the images were obtained they got sentences, usually only about three-six months, and then probation.\nIn some cases the girls also got probation and also was order clinical evaluation.

i really do not think those pictures will matter because there will be a chance the judge or magistrate will think they were fooled around with so no luck there.... If this is your first offense you are prolly looking at a fine plus court costs and maybe some community service no sweat pay your fines and do the service...

Contact the ISP where the pictures are being hosted, and inform them that they have been posted without permission. This is usually enough to get their account yanked. Make it clear to them that if the images are made publically available ever again, every possible legal option will be persued. Make sure you keep the moral high ground at all times, so if this ever goes near court, it is an open and shut case which they will lose.

I have been an amatuer photog all my life and worked for a newspaper for four years and never once did I ask for permission of a subject to sell their picture.  A few complained after I took a picture and threatened to sue if I used it.  I have never heard from them again despite using their picture.  I publish hundreds of pictures a year on my website depicting literally thousands of people, none of whom have I asked permission.

No.  Also, you may be interested in these other things you can't do: finance your startup with stolen credit cards; identify theft; carjacking; or beating up a kid for looking at you funny.\n\nI'm updating to include the following:\n\n(Source: U.S. Copyright Act.  17 U.S.C. S. 501 says: "Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner as provided by sections 106 through 122 or of the author as provided in section 106A (a). . .is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be."  See link below.)\n\nThe good news is, most folks with a copyright will be willing to give you a license for a reasonable royalty, although they'll reserve the right to approve how the shirts look.\n\nResponse to the answer below:  that's one approach.  But those are stock photos, what I took from the question was, the questioner has a specific set of photos already in mind.  At any rate, the photos on that site you mentioned are royalty-free -- no ongoing duty to pay a portion of the t-shirt revenues -- but you have to pay a chunk up front, $450.  More to the question, what that site offers DOES include a written agreement -- license terms and conditions from the copyright owners that says, here are the conditions under which you can use our copyrighted material.  See 2d link below.  So back to my original point, there's no way to do this without permission, not legally, anyway.  Legally, a copyright is property that belongs to someone just like a car or credit card.

As far as I'm aware, there's no law on the books in the United States for that kind of thing.. the only picture issues you might have are generally copywrite infringment

not without your permission. you can request the photos be removed and if they wont do this, make a formal complaint to the police. In some countries its illegal for PARENTS to photograph their own children in public let alone anyone else (because of child pornography fears....go figure!)

I don't see where it is a bit illegal for you to make the image as long as you aren't redistributing or reselling copies of the game for profit and gain. That is the copywrite act you hear everyone screaming about. As long as you only copy it for yourself to load up with a virtual drive or something like that to keep the game cd in good condition nobody would ever know unless you tell them.

No, their faces are part of their fame. If you use the faces its stealing. At the least you can be sued.
