[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom]The picture in question isn't porn and I don't know where people got the idea it that the picture was porn. She is suing Apple and Samba Studios because they are using a picture of her without her consent. And while Samba Studios and Apple may be getting money from her picture she isn't receiving a dime. She has every right to sue. If they want to use a picture of her they must license it first.[/citation]
I haven't seen the photo in question, so I'll take your word for it. I was going by the wording of the article which suggested the photos were racy. In any case, mixing a minor's photo with adult content would probably constitute child pornography. Sure she has a right to sue, but I think she shot herself in the foot by publicly making this an issue of not getting compensated rather than having her privacy and good name violated. The company in question will probably be forced to pay her a couple of grand and remove the photo, she'll be lucky to see $200 of that. If she hadn't said she's not embarassed, she probably could have gotten a lot more for mental anguish. Her lawyer probably did a face-palm when he read that Post interview. Going after Apple just sounds like a money grab.
It's a little ironic that on this site, where so many people justify file-sharing music and movies, that a 19 year old model not getting paid for her webcam photo invokes so much indignation.
