14 Year-Old's Image Used For Porn

Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, June 01, 2007 2:49 PM

We know you're not into porn, so odds are pretty good you haven't seen this before. We wanted to let you know that pornographers are pretty damn unscrupulous people. How much so, you might ask? Well, they stole a private photo from a 14-year-old and used it as the boxcover for one of their features, and then berated the young lady when she asked them to stop.

As a matter of fact, this was the response she got from the sleaze merchant. The caps aren't for effect.

"I’M SURE BY THE END OF THE MONTH YOUR FACE WILL BE HISTORY. WE HAVE STOPPED SELLING THE DVD UNTIL COVER IS REPLACED. WE HAVE FURTHER CHECKED OUT YOUR NAME AND ITS NOT LIKE IT’S A HOUSE WHOLE NAME. ACTUALLY, REMOVING YOUR IMAGE WILL HELP IMPROVE THE SELL OF THE DVD….. SO FAR IT BOMBED."

Delightful, eh?

The worst part is that, since the young lady lives overseas, American lawyers won't touch the case, and, though the company has said that they've removed the picture, they're clearly lying, as you can search for the title of the DVD and still see the cover.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get involved. How? We're not sure. TheFeed's civic pride only reaches so far, you know.

buying porn : 14$ magizines:20$ having your photo on boxcover for a porno video: priceless

People can do anything they want with a picture even the porn ind, so beware, unless you are well known or the picture shows your face really well (and still you might have to get a lawyer)there is nothing you can do about and my guess is that they didnt have to change that pic and could have told the underage girl to puk off.

I'd hit it.

sucks to be her

Posted by scotthea01 - Friday, June 1, 2007 5:05 PM

What's the problem. you can't see her face and I've seen more skin on a yeti than what she's showing. she should be asking for a percent of the profits.

Posted by SilentSniper - Friday, June 1, 2007 5:14 PM

Get involved? How? By giving them a picture of ourself so they can replace her picture with ours?

The problem is they stole a MINORS copyrighted photograph and used it with malicious intent. And punks like that will not give her a % of any money made by using her image.

As a professional photographer I fight against this kind of thieving with every law at my disposal and I hope that she can get the legal representation that she deserves.

i hope these guys burn in hell

Posted by v1c1ou5ly - Saturday, June 2, 2007 10:13 AM

How the hell is this photo of hers copyrighted material? Please, if you can show me proof then do so. Yeah, it sucks to be this hot-ass and now-famous 14 year-old foreigner, but maybe she should have excersized some reason before she plastered her MySpace with seductive pictures. In a few years, I'd love to see her in the porno though.

Posted by S14DGENER8 - Saturday, June 2, 2007 12:18 PM

This sucks for her

Posted by mannloon - Saturday, June 2, 2007 1:18 PM

Aren't you just kind of exacerbating the problem by posting the image and story here? I doubt had she not gotten all public about it that anyone would've even noticed it was her. But regardless you people are not helping things any.

Posted by Shad0w646 - Saturday, June 2, 2007 2:11 PM

pornographers are stupid and desperate to do this,honestly

Posted by BrainDerailment - Saturday, June 2, 2007 2:27 PM

What a bunch of a$$ho1es. I'd take 'em to the courts that way they can't make anymore bombing videos. It's not like their a "HOUSE WHOLE" production company.

Posted by Blue_Eyed_Devil - Saturday, June 2, 2007 7:55 PM

Im sure her lawyer will have a few harsh words for this soon to be under new ownership porn company...
If i were her parents i would sue those f.ucks till they didnt have 2 dimes to rub together.

----------------------------

The proof is that on the site link below right under the image is © and the date plus her name is written across the image this is the proof you wanted. And me personally do not want to see her or any girl in any porno they are degrading to women every where and for that matter to society as a whole. Again I hope that she can get the legal representation that she deserves.

G4 might get good representive coverage for helping out a poor girl like her and then getting it widely known in the media how much of a jerk these guys are.

Posted by Hellwarden - Sunday, June 3, 2007 7:28 PM

Wow what a sleaze ball.

Posted by BlazeBlade - Sunday, June 3, 2007 10:41 PM

You are entirely right, TheGrays. First of all, for anyone to use an image without the creator's consent is wrong. This is made even more wrong when 1)the image is copywrited (as shown by the link provided to deviantart), 2) the image was unknowingly used in the porn industry, and 3) the image belonged to a minor. Whoever did such a thing should be taken to court, because they ought to be giving this poor girl compensation for their actions. Porn already is a travesty to women, but to 14 year old girls too? Come on....

Okay you people are a bunch of idiots slapping a little symbol at the bottom of a picture and putting your name beside it does not a copyright make. For it to be copyrighted it has to be "REGISTERED" with the Government Copyright Office. And this probably wasn't do to the fact that regestering isn't free.

Now using it with out a release consent is a different issue.

Posted by Altair78 - Monday, June 4, 2007 9:05 AM

People still buy porn? Hello... internets!?

Posted by CreamPieBaby - Monday, June 4, 2007 9:36 AM

who cares?

Posted by klub - Monday, June 4, 2007 1:44 PM

Altizar, to save you the trouble of actually visiting the governments webpage, here's a little excerpt.

How to Secure a Copyright
Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation
The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. (See following note.) There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See “Copyright Registration.”

Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is “created” when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. “Copies” are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape

So ya, basically, 'slapping a little symbol at the bottom af a picture and putting your name beside it' DOES a copyright make as long as a hard copy exists somewhere.
