AtomicVPp Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Hello TCH. I am working on a part of my site that I want to post pictures of friends from an event. I would like to know about the legality of this so that I can protect myself from being sued (even though that is a very remote possibility). I am thinking that if I didn't post any personal info other than the person's first name and the state that they are from I would be safe. I would state that, "I will remove any particular picture at request." Another approach is to contact everyone and get their permission before I post the pictures and information. I also would like to post videos of performances, such as tap dancing to "In the Navy" by The Village People. I need to know what I should do to protect myself from being sued (because I would be including "In the Navy" by The Village People). Of course the sound quality is not very good because there are people cheering and other noises. Thank you, -Tim Quote

LisaJill Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Permission in writing, especially. For any of those cases. =) Quote
AtomicVPp Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Thank you for the help. What about the songs? should I write the creators of the songs? -Tim Quote
danceswithscissors Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Yes, absolutely contact the song artists, but don't hold your breath. Getting permission from professionals is a rare event. Quote
