Permission to post images

[Rabbiteyes]

Finding pics on a tumblr and posting them isn't a prob, because they're already in the public domain, they're not copyrighted, and there's no disclaimer about re-posting them...actually, many tumblrs have a disclaimer about the pics being found in the public domain and that they'll be removed upon request. And if someone posts their own pics on their tumblr, and there's no prohibition about re-posting them, they certainly can be re-posted on non-commercial sites.

Actually...a copyright is granted automatically when you create anything. You don't have to do anything to have a right to the work you create (you don't need to sign it, watermark it, put disclaimers on it, or anything else).

The thing is, there are also fair use laws (such as using an image for a few seconds in a long video...or using a piece of an image in a matte painting). These laws are extremely vague ... so, make things a bit confusing sometimes.

Is posting a picture you didn't create on a forum a violation of copyright? Probably not. It probably falls under fair use (as you aren't trying to profit or anything else). On the other hand, a company (such as the owner of the website) using the images to promote their website (where they are generating revenues from ads or anything else) would be more of an issue.

But really, it is the internet. Never post a picture if you can't handle losing control of it.

Unfortunately when you sign up for Facebook you agree to the terms and conditions that anything you post you allow anyone else access to use.

This is why I don't have a Facebook.

[QUOTE=dderek123;1368774]Yeah I would if the images were of women who wouldn't want their photo on tumblr. There are a lot of cases where the lady wants their vids and photos to be shared though. Like some of the girls in the Trap ID thread.

If I were in their shoes I just wouldn't upload anything that I wouldn't want to be seen. So it can get complicated. It's best that people protect themselves from this sort of thing because once something is uploaded there's no reversing it.

I get your point with the Trap ID thread. I've posted girls in that thread. These are girls that either have a presence on social sites, or xhamster or thier own site. I'm mainly talking about that trap thread where people just post pics of any trap and not give any info on them. But then again, these girls are posting their asses in public forums and such, so what the hell. But posting facebook girls. I really think that's a no no.

It's like going to s sporting event and your image shows up in a picture of the action on field...you can't sue because your image is there...there's no damage to sue for anyway.

That's why Anthony Weiner can't sue the website that posted the nude pics he sent that woman...it's his image but the pics were in the possession of the woman who gave it to the website, i.e. she owned the photo.

If the pics are public, it's a yes-yes.
