Just want to know where we stand. I don't want to give exact details but will give as much info as possible.
A minor celebrity posted a picture online of something they had made. A public site with an open page where anyone can view it (without having to follow/like the page).
If someone were to save the picture and then have the same thing custom made, would this be illegal?
No-one has posted her actual pictures publically (only sent them to the artist) although they have posted a picture of their item online (an exact replica of the item).
This person has found out and has written a big rant saying that it is theft and people need her permission to use her photos. Quite a few people have done it since the picture was posted last year.
Has any crime actually been committed? She has said she would have liked people to ask permission before using her photos for any purpose. Tbh, It didn't even cross my mind to ask permission, she never replies to 'fans' although I have gone right off her now.
