Legal Question in Technology Law in Kentucky

Re: Photos on Internet

Well it depends upon the photograph. If it is one taken at a base ball game, for example, when one is in public with others at a public event and has no expectation of privacy, the later publication is OK.

If it is a posed photograph, nude for example, then there is in fact an expectation of privacy and one cannot legally publish the photograph without permission or a release.

One problem with the net is that publishing a photograph there broadcasts it to countless states and countries.

The matter will be controlled by the law of the jurisdiction where the publisher of the photograph lives.
