You know using my picture in your signature is a violation of Internet harassment laws, mainly because I never consented to it being used?



Can you link me to where it says that? And where it says that your picture can not be used if you give it to somebody?


w00t?

I think that's AK being a 'tard.

It's not harrasment unless it's consistent and continual, even then it'd be a hard thing to prove since, AFAIK, you're not actually harrassing him with words.

If it was me I'd let it drop and just ask permission next to post a pic of him.

it WAS at http://www.onlineharassment.com, unfortunatly that site is now down. However, after a quick search of the forum (yes this was brough up before), I'll requote what I had pasted in that topic. Straight from that site.

Invasion of Privacy
This may apply if the subject of the photo is portrayed falsely and/or in an offensive manner. It is also considered an invasion of privacy if the photograph was taken while the subject was in a situation where privacy was expected, i.e., the photographer took the photo while peeping through a bedroom window. Photos taken in a public place or at a gathering or event where the public is invited, generally does not constitute invasion of privacy.

Right of Publicity
This can occur when a photo is used on a commercial website. The unauthorized use of a photograph on web site that is selling a product or service would probably violate an individual's right of publicity as it may appear that the subject is endorsing the product or service.

Defamation
Generally, this is when a photo is used to injure the subject's reputation. For example, if a photo is altered so that the subject's head appears on the body of a naked person or it is made to appear that the person is falsely engaged in illicit, illegal or inappropriate acts that would cause people to think less of him/her.

Pick which one this would fall under. Mind you simple posting it in its original form would be fine. Unless something else would suggest otherwise.

Okay, I see that, but of course it can't be a law if it's not enforced. Who enforces it?

w00t?

any law enforcement station can begin, or at least tell you who you can go to.
