While watching Fox 2 news this evening I saw an interesting news story that told of a woman who recently posted her family photos on her facebook page. The woman was sbocked when she received a call from a friend, who happens to live in Prauge, Czech, that her family picture was featured in a grocery store advertisement. The woman had no knowledge of the advertisement, so obviously she did not give permission for the photo to be used for such purposes.
The news story mentions that Cyber expert Scott Shaffer tells us that " anything you put on the internet could be there forever" and that ' Images,quotes it can live forever. They may even out live you, keep in mind what you are exposing up there."
We spoke about the use of photos used for other purposes other than it's original intent in the first class. My question when I first saw the story was does the family have any legal recourse for the use of the pictures ? Or is whatever is posted on the internet fair game in or out of the United States?http://www.fox2now.com/ktvi-cyberwarning-facebookphoto-061009,0,5160229.story

This was an interesting story. I thought that the picture had been seen also on a bill board. Reading chapter 14 had me questioning a lot of things. One thing I am happy with is students are somewhat exempt as long as we quote. And I learned that I could have gotten Kinko's to copy something for a class a couple years ago that they refused to copy. Now I know my rights.
