A Woman Is Suing Her Parents For Posting Embarrassing Childhood Photos To Facebook
Earlier this year, we ran a story which talked about how a parent could be sued by their kids for posting their photos on Facebook. Over the past two years, we have seen several such cases, and now we have another one. From a report on NYMag:An 18-year-old woman in Carinthia, Austria, is suing her parents over the 500-odd childhood photos they've posted of her on Facebook without her consent. "They knew no shame and no limit and didn't care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot -- every stage was photographed and then made public," she told The Local, an English-language Austrian newspaper. She went on, "I'm tired of not being taken seriously by my parents," who, despite her requests, have refused to take the photos down. The woman's father reportedly believes he's in the right to post the pictures because he took them. But her lawyer is adamant that if he can prove the photos violated the woman's right to privacy, her parents could be forced to pay damages and legal fees.
can we see those photos?
Be or ben't
Someone clearly needs to "Grow The Fuck Up" (tm).
Part of life. Get over yourself.
It has been some years since specialists began to warn about the dangers of over exposition of children online.
Linux is for people who don't mind RTFM.
I'm trying to wrap my brain around a parent who says no to their child's request that photos of the child be taken down from the Internet. This isn't even an issue of good parenting, it's an issue of common courtesy!
Do parents need consent if they are already granted the rights to make legal decisions for their under 18-year-old children? Can't they just decide for the kid as is their obligation and right?
Christmas dinner is going to be AWKWARD!
The days of her parents not taking her very seriously are coming to a middle.
Must be a Millennial.
Seriously, she has more chance of winning this lawsuit than the one she is filing. If she wins, next people will start filing lawsuit against parents for buying bicycle since she fell off the bike or buying a wrong brand of diapers.
According to Wikipedia, the age of majority in Austria is 18.
Whether you win or lose, they can literally kick you out of their home and cut off all support.
I wonder if you really thought this through.
Let me take a stab at this: the parents are wealthy.
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
Teenagers are tricky create they often have little empathy of their own yet are highly sensitive to perceived slights and are easily embarrassed. They are also impulsive and easily convinced to do things that are ultimately only going to be self destructive like suing ones own parents over a relatively minor thing.
I can understand both attitudes here. As a parent you need to show that it is you are in control and you who make the rules. You don't have to stop doing something because your children don't approve, but they will not be permitted to do what you find objectionable beyond the leeway you might be willing to afford them.
On the other hand if it was my kid this isn't the hill I'd pick to die on (well I never would have posted the stuff in the first place). I think I would say well mom and I posted those pictures because we are proud of you and our family but if they make you uncomfortable we will mark them private so only us and your grand parents can see them. Seem like this would be a good moment to show some empathy and hope the kid models in the future.

“They knew no shame and no limit and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot — every stage was photographed and then made public,” ...
Well, now....Isn't posting pictures of naked children bad? I don't know about the child pornography laws in Austria, but here in the States, her parents would go to jail and then have to be registered as sex offenders and their lives would be over.
Because *gasp* some perv may get off on them!
Well the fact that she is now 18 legally she is an adult. While people mature at different rates, and many 18 year olds still have a lot of maturity problems. However the parents who should have more empathy should had listened to their child's concerns and take them down, and not use such a thing as some sort of power play. For this particular case seems out of hand.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Ahh, so _you_ are the arbiter of personal pride for all other people in the world right? Or they are "trolls" as you so gleefully liked to claim.. Your last line is all we need to know about you, a SJW
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
The parents need to turn around and counter-sue for every last dime they spent raising her...
For the people who perpetually live on the slippery slope whinery
Actually, the rest of us call it "having human emotions" and "not taking the dick and then dishing it back out tenfold"
Sounds like a person with a mental disorder who should be receiving professional treatment, not receiving accolades for trying to extort money from the people who took pride in being able to raise a daughter and sharing that joy with others.
No kidding. It is the highest privilege and joy to raise a child, even for people who realize world acclaim and fortune. Everyone always says, with complete honesty and without reservation, that their children are the most important thing to them in the world. Unless this woman has an excessively dysfunctional relationship with her parents to the point that they literally intended to do this specifically to torment her, it is an utterly harmless act for them to post the pictures. 99.999% chance they just love their daughter. This is really sad.
People will sue for anything these days. I get the premise,and the embarrassment, but to go as far as to sue? for actual cash revenue? from her parents? She must either A.) Hate her parents or B.) Is greedy a hell. Considering she's 18 I am wondering if she was at some point financially cut off from her parents, and this is a way to retaliate. Then again I could be wrong.
So, wanting some control over what aspects of your personal life go online is a mental disorder? And, even if it is, that means it's OK to just say "they're sick" and to ahead and do things without their consent anyway? That's like bullying the disabled kid, and only extreme assholes and sociopaths would ever think that "mental illness" makes anything like this OK or more acceptable.
Seems that would be a legit, legal reason enough right there to remove them; considering she was obviously not 18...
Are you attempting to claim that the person is correctly handling conflict resolution by asking the Government to give her "her" way? Sorry, but that is absolutely not conflict resolution, it's bullying. Given that action, how likely is it that she ever talked to them and asked them to take down any photos compared to trying to bully her parents into taking the pictures down? I could be wrong, but generally gauge people pretty well.
I agree that there could be problems on both sides, but her side is open for inspection. Pictures of her on a potty chair (one of the ones I heard she had in her complain) are not bad by default. My parents had pictures of me on the potty chair, another in my undies with Chicken Pox, etc.. I didn't do the same for my kid, but that's not in any way claiming my parents were wrong. It was a personal preference where I simply didn't take photos like my parents did. They invested hundreds of hours on setting up photo albums, I didn't.
If the pictures were of her being naked it would be considered porn and her parents would have had to remove the photos and probably be facing criminla charges. That is not the case presented thus far, if you have different evidence show it.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
Wow. Just wow. No respect at all. If you have kids, I'm sure they hate your guts. Respect goes both ways, and these parents have ZERO of it for their child.
Then i'd disown her and refuse contact for the rest of my life until she crawled back with an apology. What an ungrateful asshole.

"The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old......They literally know nothing." - Ben Rhodes
At least here in the USA, such things have happened (kids filing lawsuits against their parents over various grievances) -- but I think 99.9% of the population takes a very dim view of it.
I guess I'm ok with the legal OPTION being available for such things? But it seems really extreme. I'm not sure that most minor kids fully realize the ramifications of doing such a thing. I mean ... as much as you may dislike your parents embarrassing you with your childhood photos, you may later decide that was "nothing" compared to a lifetime of not communicating with your parents anymore (which is VERY likely to be the outcome if you won a lawsuit against them).
If the pictures were of her being naked it would be considered porn and her parents would have had to remove the photos and probably be facing criminal charges.
Simple (or non-sexualized) nudity -- even of minors -- is usually not considered porn or illegal. Haven't seen the photos in question, but context is important.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
This isn't really about the photos per se.
To be bothered by something so ordinary is pathological, so ask yourselves, why is she so self conscious to be bothered by this ordinary thing.
There is actually a big clue in the story, the parents refused to take down the photos because the "father _owns_ them".
That shows a complete lack of empathy for ones own child is hugely narcissistic.
One of our neighbors' daughters graduated from high school this year. She and her sister used to hang out with my two kids when they were much younger. They'd stage and record these "shows" using a camcorder. It was tame and goofy stuff. So before her graduation party I posted a couple of them on youtube and shared the link with my neighbor. I marked it as private.
I reassured the mom that it wasn't public. She didn't care, - but the kids sure did. They were mortified at the thought that their friends might find it. Teenagers are VERY image conscious. Even though they'll post the dumbest stuff on youtube, snapchat, and instagram, - things that they'll find much more embarrassing a decade from now, they want to control their image. I get that.
There is no doubt in my mind that childhood pictures could be a source of ridicule for a teen. At the same time, I doubt their friends' or enemies' opinions about them are influenced one way or the other by naked baby pictures. As a teen it's hard to see that though and I think the parents need a little more empathy in this case. It's idiotic that something like this requires intervention by a court to resolve but I blame the parents both for being stupid about it and for raising a kid that would file a lawsuit over it.
Let me take a stab at this: the parents are wealthy.
Vicarious parent trying to control the child is more likely.
Is it Barbra Streisand's daughter?
Some mistakes have to be made ourselves before we can learn from them.
Both. The daughter suing her parents over this is absurd but the parents not removing them when it evidently upsets her this much is appalling.
So, what should she do if her parents refuse to remove photos, including her "sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot"?
You're telling me it's "absurd" for her to sue, and she should "Grow The Fuck Up (tm)". But you're not telling me what she should actually do. What choices does she have other than suing?

Sounds like a person with a mental disorder who should be receiving professional treatment,
I agree: her parents are all that, and assholes to boot.
They should be not allowed to access the internet without permission.
Real life is coming - for all of you. Boo!

Well, imagine your parents sending out copies of pictures you sitting on a toilet to all their contacts in their phonebook.
Unless you want to leave them at risk from preventable diseases. Or let them die when a blood transfusion would save them. Or do a bit of carving on their shagging tackle.
But it's only OK if you do it because an invisible man in the sky told you to.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
"I'm tired of not being taken seriously by my parents,"
Sounds very immature for an 18 year old. Can't get her own way so throw a massive hissy fit until her parents give in.
Yup, that's the way to go to make yourself look more mature.
I wonder who she'll go running back to if she loses and ends up with a big legal bill she can't pay by herself ?
Yes, my kids are my world, and if they asked me to stop doing something that embarrassed them I would at the very lest try to find a middle ground like making the most embarrassing photos private. Just cause they are my kids and my way or the highway does not mean that their feelings and opinions are completely off-base when they disagree with mine. Lets be fair here, I am NOT perfect.
Anyone who says otherwise is not a very good parent.
Captcha: immature. Very apropos to your comment.
Children are *disposable* property. Every house should have a kidchipper built in.
Holy Fugging Sheet this is my parents in an absolute nutshell. My father was a professional photographer most of my life so there is a literal mountain of pictures of me as a kid. And, of course, they cherry pick out the most absolutely fucking embarrassing ones along with their now distorted view of the background of the picture that is always, somehow, is 10x worse then reality. Of course they will argue through their teeth what they remember is the absolute truth. I honestly think they relish in the whole production. I'm desensitized to it now, hell it's been 30+ solid years of it...
I don't think I would ever sue my parents, but I can understand where this all is coming from.
"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle"
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
I could be wrong, but generally gauge people pretty well.
There is not enough back story really to draw a conclusion.
People and the motives that move them through the day are not that simple, I would recommend against that type of attitude. People can't be categorized into a few personalities types.
People are required to pass a test to drive a vehicle, yet any idiot can be a parent.
A parent that needs to show who is in control usually isn't. A good parent like any good teacher, teaches by example.
Conversely, parents who lack respect for their kids will teach them exactly that.
My parents would proudly display my third-grade art projects for anyone who entered the house. To my teenage self, it was mortifying.
To my adult self, I couldn't really care less. Things change. Also, my mom's been taking pottery lessons in her retirement, and I keep some of her "early works" around the house, and it achieves the desired result.
Maybe this case is different, I sure hope I'm underestimating the plaintiff/daughter. But for a teenager, any reminders of early childhood are pretty much the Worst Thing Ever. They'll grow out of it.
Pics or it didn't happen!
What's that? Not so quick to post naked pictures of your niece?
Perhaps now you understand the issue better.
There was an awesome 'ER' episode where the abused daughter refused to place her elderly, demented father in a home.
She preferred to keep him at home, where she could 'take care' of him. The look of terror in the old man's eyes was priceless.
It was chilling, and thoroughly cathartic and enjoyable to consider.
I'd take them down, then thar would be the last she ever heard of me. "You are no longer in our life, person - is that taking you seriously enough?"
If your response to everyone that gets mad at you for something you did is to shut them out of your life forever you're going to live a pretty lonely life. Doubly so if those people are your children. Shutting a child out of your life is an absolutely brutal thing to do. I have direct experience in my family of what this is like. Parents who do this for any reason other than self protection are assholes.
You are correct about not knowing the dynamics of the situation. but if a child of mine ever sued me for anything, it would be the last contact they'd ever have with me.
Based on your response that might be good thing. You sound unbalanced and I'm guessing you don't have children. You seriously believe that no matter how badly you behave the child should never be able to drag you in to court? Some parents are terrible, abusive, mean, or manipulative. Some parents steal from their children or beat them or abuse them both physically and psychologically. There is a reason emancipated minors are a thing. If an adult (she is 18) child actually gets to the point where you behavior has made them think that the only means to get you to behave nicely is to sue you then the problem is most likely YOU. What exactly do the parents lose by taking the pictures down? Nothing. They are keeping them up just out of spite and/or disrespect for self indulgent reasons. I'm having trouble seeing any scenario where the parents are the good guys here.
If I posted a picture of someone and they asked me to take it down I see no reason to be a jerk about it and ignore the request. Granted going to court about it is pretty extreme but it's entirely conceivable that it is justified (or possibly not). Frankly I wouldn't want all my childhood pictures being posted publicly either so I get where the daughter is coming from. I don't have a facebook account for this very reason among others. Some people value their privacy and don't want everyone in the world to see every detail of their lives. Reasonable people will honor this point of view so long as it causes no harm and none could possibly come from taking down the pictures..
The obvious answer is to ignore it. Non-mentally-ill adults do not experience "emotional distress" over the fact that people may see some of their baby pictures.
Why should she ignore it? That will not solve her problem. They are pictures of her, not pictures of you and they affect her. There can be real consequences to having even seemingly innocent information made public. Maybe you don't care but she's entitled to a different opinion. I don't like having pictures of me posted without my consent either. It's one of the reasons I don't participate in facebook. The parents are being very disrespectful and possibly harmful. It costs them nothing to take the pictures down and respect her harmless request for privacy. Mentally ill people are those who lack empathy for others and the parents are the ones showing a distinct lack of it here.
I can get on board with the notion that suing might be overkill here but there is no objective reason for the parents to persist their behavior. I very much doubt they would like naked pictures of themselves posted publicly. The fact that she is a child in the pictures makes them arguably child porn if she really wants to play hardball over it. Just because someone is your parent doesn't make any and all behavior towards their child acceptable.
where they will use every metric you can imagine and quite a few you probably can't to track this girl the rest of her natural life.
Also, don't they claim ownership of everything posted? Maybe she should be telling Facebook to take them down and if they don't comply sue them instead.
Facebook has dark profiles on people who don't have accounts. They do facial recognition and other shit to harvest as much data as absolutely possible. Embarrassing or not her parents have murdered her privacy for life. Damage is probably already done.
Rules tend to be different when it's non sexualized photos of an infant. That's likely the case here.
What is "sexual" is very much dependent on the viewer. Some people have fetishes I could not begin to imagine being arousing but nevertheless they are real. Just because the parents are too dense to grasp that fact doesn't make it less true. Do you really want somebody with tendencies towards child molestation pleasuring themselves over your child's pictures? There are people who do that you know. It's not hard to make an argument that any picture of a naked child could be considered child porn. And it is entirely reasonable to not want such pictures of oneself posted for all the world to see for that reason alone.
There is no reason for the parents to not honor their child's reasonable request. The fact that the child had to get unreasonable about how she made her request speaks to how unreasonable the parents are being.
Tell Daddy that he shouldnt have taken those nudy pictures of his little girl and threaten to charge him with child porn if he doesnt take them down.... LOl
problem solved
It's much more likely the daughter is a hypersensitive, unsympathetic, thoughtless, self-absorbed twit.
Disagree. I think we have some parents who lack empathy, are emotionally abusive and lack common courtesy. If someone posted naked pictures of me at any age publicly I'd be entirely within my rights to be pissed off at that asshole. Whether they see it as a problem or not is irrelevant. Now I'm sure there is more at play here than this one little incident but based on the facts at hand I have to say the parents are WAY out of line here.
Disclaimer: I have a teenage daughter.
And do you go out of your way to embarrass her or cause her emotional distress? If she made a harmess request of you would you tell her to get bent? Do you care so little for her feelings?
....enough said.
This fucking generation "something made me unhappy how can i litigate it out of existence, i have a right to only ever be happy!"
So now it's compassion to give money and harbor to ungrateful losers who don't realize that THEY have requirements and responsibilities too? So it's just dad that has to do all the fucking work? WTF is wrong with your generation? That kind of attitude was considered a mental disorder 25 years ago.
I don't have a cent invested in anything that isn't real estate - because I don't like play money investments. Land doesn't go anywhere.
My daughters aren't going to make much money, sadly. Maybe they'll marry up, but I doubt it. Menial labor is their fate.

it does not have to be $
He shouldn't post anything that hurts his daughter.
What's bad or not is not for you to decide you arrogant twat. It's for the person who is actually on the pictures.
Further, children are not property, and boy are you in for a surprise if you have children and try to treat them like it. Just like it apparently did for this couple of asshole parents. "I created you, therefore I own you!" isn't just morally wrong, it's wrong in the legal sense too. As no doubt this pair of self-absorbed jackasses are about to find out.
Condoms prevent children who later sue their parents.
You do realize that you're not refuting him?
Overriding the parents if they have nutty ideas about blood transfusions etc, isn't any way near treating them like property. It's looking out for their interests, something which is the obligation of every custodian, and if the parents are balking at that they are not doing their job.
Europeans are some real simpering pussies, huh? Those people wiped your retarded Eurotrash ass for years, they have a right to post pictures about it princess.
However the photographs the father took of his child ARE his property.
If you want to live in a world where parents are not allowed to have responsibility for their children but it is abdicated to the government this is the sort of thing you get.
Puhlease don't act surprised when you loose all of your free speech rights if you don't protect everyone else's.
Caution: Contents under pressure
On what grounds?
" but here in the States, her parents would go to jail "
No they wouldn't. Now you're just being dumb.
Well, maybe not "just now"
They would lose.
The parents are responsible for her until she is 18.
It's their own fault for fucking up her upbringing.
Technically correct, but just because something is your property doesn't mean you are allowed to use it as you please. Just because you own a car doesn't mean you have the right to run someone over, and if you own potentially damaging documents/photos, doesn't mean you have a right to extort someone with them. If you have a child you are allowed to withdraw money from their bank account, unless there are specific safeguards against it, that doesn't mean you won't land in hot water if you withdraw all the money in their account and spend it on blackjack and hookers.
As a custodian you have power over someone else's life, and as is well known, with power comes responsibilities. You are supposed to use your power for the benefit of the child. Not satisfy your own egotistical whims. We all know in what category "posting nude pictures of someone" lands in. It's completely in the same ballpark as "revenge porn", only a child have even less power to object at the acquisition of said material.
According to another newspaper (Berliner Morgenpost) this story might be a hoax. Suspeced reasons: There is a single source for this story (Austrian tabloid "Die ganze Woche"), the court cited in the article doesn't know anything about this case, her lawyer cited in this article doesn't know anything about this case, the newspaper that is the only source doesn't comment on inquiries at all and the people involved in the lawsuit can't be contacted directly because their identities are not known. All of this makes the chances this is made up pretty high.
Today's experiment
hey moron - there's a BIG difference between "someone getting mad at you" and someone SUING you.
Based on your response, you're an idiot. You sound unbalanced and I'm guessing that you're a neckbeard that's never had sex outside of your palm. You seriously believe, without knowing all of the info, that a child should never be able to drag you to court? Some parents are great, loving, happy, and caring. Some kids steal from their children or their children beat them or abuse then both physically and psychologically. If an adult child actually sues their parents perhaps they are spoiled brats who didn't get their way and the problem is actually THE CHILD. What exactly does the child lose by suing their parents at 18 (not even figuring out who is PAYING for the lawyer)? Potentially everything. I'm having trouble seeing ANY scenario where the kid is the good guy here.
If you posted a picture of someone and they asked you to take it down, it's your choice not to take it down. Just the same that it would be your choice to leave it up. Frankly, if your parents have pics of your childhood, it's their right to post them if they want to share with THEIR friends. We're glad you don't have a facebook account - you're probably one of those crazies who think you have privacy in public or the internet. Besides, seeing duck-lip pics of a sasquatch neckbeard isn't something most of us want to see anyways.
Reasonable people would see that a majority of the pictures cause no harm to this spoiled brat and she should be taught a lesson that just because she doesn't agree with something doesn't mean she's going to get her way.
US culture prides itself on taking things to the extreme. Look at all the examples:
* The completely absurd tipping customs and expectations, which, unbelievably, continue to get worse
* The widespread practice of suing anybody for anything, which, amazingly, is met with applause rather than disgust
* The ridiculous truck culture, where people go into debt to buy diesel trucks the size of small houses for... drum roll please... grocery shopping and driving to work
Feel free to add your own -- cultural absurdities are easy to come by in the US.
"As a parent you need to show that it is you are in control and you who make the rules."
No, the parents do NOT make the rules. Too easy, children do not belong to their parents.
Parents must apply rules given by society, laws, common decency, religion, nature or whatever.
These parents are simply abusing of their authority on the daughter who was conditioned to trust them during her childhood.
She now discovers they are simply dishonest and do not deserve this trust. Morons can have children too, after all.
"self destructive like suing ones own parents"
This might be VERY profitable for the daughter:
* Lot of money.
* Get rid of the parents
* Make them ridiculous and hate-able.
Are you attempting to claim that the person is correctly handling conflict resolution by asking the Government to give her "her" way? Sorry, but that is absolutely not conflict resolution, it's bullying.
Nope, it's legal conflict resolution. The state reserves the right to compulsive force and the determination that such much be imposed, outside of extreme circumstances. It is the height of maturity, and if you disagree, well, you'll have to overthrow our entire civil society.
I suggest not doing so without more thought and consideration.
Given that action, how likely is it that she ever talked to them and asked them to take down any photos compared to trying to bully her parents into taking the pictures down?
That's 100%, if we believe the article.
I could be wrong, but generally gauge people pretty well.
That you think this, when you've never met any of the parties, tends to point against your gauging. That it comes after a post where you try to make a psychological diagnosis, in other words, a false appeal to authority, is also not to your credit.
Maybe you mean well, but I really don't trust your own scrutiny of yourself.
I agree that there could be problems on both sides, but her side is open for inspection. Pictures of her on a potty chair (one of the ones I heard she had in her complain) are not bad by default. My parents had pictures of me on the potty chair, another in my undies with Chicken Pox, etc..
Actually, her side is very undefined, with no real presentation of any of the discomfort caused, merely a statement of stress. You can't judge her character very well at all. And nothing of her parents, so you'd just be wildly speculating there.
I didn't do the same for my kid, but that's not in any way claiming my parents were wrong. It was a personal preference where I simply didn't take photos like my parents did. They invested hundreds of hours on setting up photo albums, I didn't.
And while we could speculate that her parents resent their hard work being opposed, that might not be fair. So let's not.
If the pictures were of her being naked it would be considered porn and her parents would have had to remove the photos and probably be facing criminla charges. That is not the case presented thus far, if you have different evidence show it.
"or lying naked in my cot -- every stage was photographed and then made public," form the summary itself.
Not that this speaks well of you either, since you're suggesting an extreme response rather than a mild one.
I know i'm feeding a troll now, but heck...
A parent does not OWN their kids.. They are not their property... It's their responsibility to take care of and make sure they behave, but the kids have all the same rights to privacy as anyone else..
Posting a picture publicly of their child falls under the same rules as posting a picture of some random adult person they meet..
Teenagers are tricky create they often have little empathy of their own yet are highly sensitive to perceived slights and are easily embarrassed.
Parents are tricky because they often react to any criticism with reckless blustery entitlement and a flurry of accusations, yet within the accusations are things like "lack of empathy," "spoiled and entitled," "impulsive," "refuses to take responsibility for their actions," that apply better to the person speaking the accusation than the target.
I can understand both attitudes here. The parents are correct at pattern-matching accusation to scenario but deficient in perspective, reactionary, and for whatever reason completely incapable of self-criticism. The closest they can come to that is to criticize other parents, something they do very delicately and only in ways unlikely to blow back on themselves.
Teenagers are VERY image conscious.
You would be a lot more image conscious than you are if you were dating or had more than three friends. It's more like "old married people are UTTERLY shameless."
"I'm tired of my parents not taking me seriously."
Says the 18 year-old!
Fracking awesome. I might not STOP laughing.
I think any court or reasonable person would think asking 7 years and being refused is trying to work it out.
> "The woman's father reportedly believes he's in the right to post the pictures because he took them."
Well, sounds like I have a trip to Austria to make. Specifically, to right outside this guy's window, to take some pictures of him while he's changing, which I will then have the right to post, because they were my pictures, right? Apparently, according to this guy's logic...
But the parent DOES OWN those pictures. See this why it has to come down to court and why we can't have nice things.
Perhaps, but 'I created you, therefore I own you' is correct in the legal sense when the object of ownership is a photo.
The parents treat them as property. Were you homeschooled or something, you dumb fuck?
