    Default Need help with website pictures.

    Anyone someone please, i have some older pictures of me, mainly Christmas pictures on a site (friend found it, i need the site myself at this point,) what happened is they got a bunch of photos that where posted on another site 3 years ago. And now are using them for phone sex operators to use i guess. (Friend is at work, and can't go to porn sites at this time to get me the address, not that i would want anyone to see them from here anyway, they are fetish Xmas pics.) he did not want to tell me, because he knew i would be upset. BUT, they don't use these damn pics. free....Someone has to paying something for them, for use. ?

    Also i no longer do phone at this time, how do i get some off one site that i DID agree to let use while i worked there. I no longer work there. So i would guess someone else is being me, Pamela ?

    Not sure whats going on.

    Any advice, i want them down. The one site had no permission, don't even know who the hell they are, but they do use photos for others who don't want to use their own.

    The other like i said i am no longer there. Verbal agreement to use them, but i no longer work there. But i am still up there as a PSO. ? ?

    I sent pamela a detailed PM about this, but if you are in a similar situation, send a cease and desist letter. Send it certified and preferably from an atty friend. Use a legal form letter if you have to do it yourself. Verbal contracts are very hard to prove and enforce, so try not to put it in writing that you ever agreed to it if you can help it.

    marisa has some excellent advice here, which was well stated, although a bit breif. Photographers are told to ALWAYS get written releases.

    That was a time ago. Since 2257 they had to be taken down. I contacted the DOJ who was watching the site, as they had the incorrect address on me etc.

    One other note in some states the Release is not valid unless it is signed after the shoot is done. The reason for that is that you can not release something that has not happened. I read it in a professional photographers publication when I was studding photography 10 years ago. In this publication they recommended that the photographer have 2 releases. 1 allowing the taking of the pictures and the 2nd to be signed after the shoot allowing the use of the pictures and that if you are using a model it should also list what the compensation was if any. This applied even if it was copies of the photos.

    If you are being photographed for work it is important that you read the releases and make sure that they are not for life and that they are only for the term of the employment. A good approach here is to get a release form off line and change and bring it with you . You can then give a copy of it to them and tell them that you saw it get nasty because somewhere else there wasn't one and the gal went after them so you are just protecting them.

    Have to state I am not a lawyer just a guy that has had to deal with this and this is what the lawyers told and the trade mags instructed me to do.
