Random Question.... if your photos are in the public domain... ie on a website... who owns the photos.... you... the photographer.. the website owner..
Can you then ask for the photos to be removed? What recourse do you have if they say no
I have a mate whos having issues with some dodgy photos of her on the net
dunno
sorry can't help. Good question though, will be watching this one with interest :thumbup:

Has it got something to do with this website?
:shock:
The copywrite of the photo remains the ownership of the photographer unless the rights are sold.

Taken from the BBC website:
What internet law do I need to know?
Most people think that the law regarding online behaviour is vague and still developing because the internet is relatively new, but this is wrong.
Internet law deals with exactly the same legal issues as normal law, it's just applied to the different features of the online world.
Whenever you purchase, write or download anything on the internet, you are subject to exactly the same consumer, defamation and copyright laws as in the non-virtual world.
Who owns stuff online?
One of the most common misconceptions about the internet is that all material on it is freely available to the public.
Just like the real world, every image, sentence, and audio or video clip belongs to someone, and if you use it without permission you are breaking the law.
The high profile cases in the media are usually about pirated online music or videos but that doesn't mean that you can freely copy text and pictures.
The rest of the article can be found here:
Depends on the website as well - some take over copyright if they publish them - well I know of one for definite that does lol :lol: :lol:

Yep this is what i thought.... many MANY moons ago.. me and an ex used to dabble i the whole webcam thing... and i wondered by then.. i took the pics.. they are mine.. but after we split up i took them down out of respect for her.
Basically this website owner, phones up this person and shouts at her as to why shes taken the profile down as he makes money when people download her videos.. and re-uploads it...... rather pimp like if you ask me...
That all sounds a bit dodgy!
Have you complained/enquired about the site owners actions direct HB?

keep the popcorn coming, this could be a good viewing
It may have been a random question but it wasn't a random place to ask it, seeing as you are aware that the site owner is also a member.
