Illegal to post ex g/f w/o permission????

[LukkyKnight]

Smart? No.
Smarmy? Yes.
Cathartic? No.
Sleazy? Yes.
Helpful? No.
Risky? Yes.
Useful? No.
Vindictive? Yes.
Reasonable? No.
Assinine? Yes.

Legal? Ask your lawyer, it's sort of context sensitive, but the best-case scenario is going to cost you a lot of legal fees even if you prevail in the long run - which I'm not qualified to have an opinion on.

I've got two other points, neither of which you want to hear:

First, the very fact you're asking indicates you know better than to do this, and don't really need advice even if you're interested in the reactions.

Second, the fact you'd consider it should be sufficient to explain why you now no longer have either the marriage or the affection of the woman in question. Go get some therapy with the money you're saving on legal fees, man, you're a mess.

Just curious.In the U.S. is it o.k. to post pics.of an ex without their consent?

I am sueing starfish, just because I want a fight. I'm scared of her sword handling so its the courtroom for me.

Johhny Cochran will be contacting you Starfish.

The only swords I really like to handle are.....

Cockrans.



Okay, I'll leave it at home.



(what, I don't know, because I don't own a sword.... Yet!)

While it may not be illegal, you can still get sued for it. You just can't get arrested for it.

Legally speaking

Just a few points about posting a pic without the subject's permisision:

If the subject CAN NOT be identified, post till your heart's content.

BUT

If the subject CAN be identified, you must be aware of some of the grounds for a lawsuit.

1) False-light: representing someone in a highly offensive manner before the public

2)Intrusion-invasion of privacy: is your subject in a place where she can reasonably expect privacy? If she is in her bedroom, curtains closed, probably yes. In other settings, where the public may view the activity, probably not.

3) Commercial appropriation: unauthorized use of the person's name or likeness for a commercial purpose.

4) Publication of private facts: you may be sued if you publish private facts, of a highly embarassing or offensive nature without a newsworthy purpose.

Some things to think about....

Surely you realize that whatever you put out into the world comes back onto you. You will not gain anything from revenge in the long run except less respect for yourself. Do you really want to escalate the recriminations in this episode of your life. Do you think the fallout from this splatters just you and her? You made some ill considered selfish choices back at the beginning. Don't continue this pattern please.

Let me tell you something. If I was to date a man who had done something like this and I found out I would walk away from him without a backward glance. The fact that you are asking about this lends me to suspect that you are a little queasy about the ethics of your intended actions. I think if your marriage and buisness were destroyed the price was high enough or did you want to add a tip and throw in your integrity? It is up to you whether you allow her to goad you to make another trip to sleazy land.

 

[Krankar]

I agree=

...with all the replies.

you cost you your marriage and biz

posting a pic w/o permission is damned sleazy.

probably one helluva expensive lawsuit.

she might have a boyfriend who comes over and wipes the friggin' floor with your
stupid ass when he finds out.
----------------------------------------

here'ssome New Years resolutions for you:

1)- get rid of the pics
2)- quit whining; be a man
3)- go into group therapy (long-term)
4)- if unable to do any of the above,
suck on a 9mm.
---------------------------------------
Have a nice Xmas-(dont drink too much)

I have to go along with what everyone else has said so far except for Krankar and the only one i have trouble agreeing with him is Number 4. No one needs to kill themselves over something this stupid.

 

[paganangel]

i say do it

nah, just kidding. i do think people are being little knee-jerk though. i mean we really don't know what she did to you. and everyone just seemed to assume you slept with her. maybe it's actually not morrally wrong. anything can be justified under the right circumstances so i won't assume she isn't deserving of the punishment you describe. i judge not.
still, you have the law to contend with. that needs to be your first priority. even if she is deserving, don't do something that is gonna screw your life up more.
