Your actions indicate significant planning or realization of the potential outcomes (if you didn't, then people might have sympathy and try to stop you); the mini-skirt wearer, however, does not have the societal nor social expectations (we call it reasonable expectations) that indicate anything other than being seen as a normal member of the public. You as an atheist enjoy a reasonable expectation of not getting special treatment - I'd hate to think how different your life may have been if all atheists were subjected to harassment (oh wait, many were until modern times...). You enjoy being not harassed yet you deny that for others, despite common and legal reasonable expectations - cognitive dissonance worthy of certain... individuals who believe in certain ridiculous things.

Of course in your warped sexist view anything a woman does or wears is probably considered consent, the woman's verbal will be damned. She said no. Therefore, no consent. This is simple, it's plain English. (August 3, 2010 at 9:01 pm)Dotard Wrote: Her image was not used illegally. Didn't the jury already decide that? If the jury said, and the judge apparently agreed, GGW did not do anything illegal, then they didn't do anything illegal. So because OJ Simpson was declared innocent by a jury, he never committed the crime? Come on. Your making an appeal to law, stating that just because the jury ruled that way that it makes them right. Supreme example of a logical fallacy. (August 3, 2010 at 9:01 pm)Dotard Wrote: Right. She didn't win. Why are you still arguing and accusing folks of victim blaming when the courts have decided there was no "victim". I call it as I see it. A victim doesn't need the courts to declare it for it to be so. Another logical fallacy.

She's didnt' sue because she didn't want her husband to find out her sordid past, she sued because GGW used her imagry without her permission. Had this been a non-pornographic movie company using a hollywood star's image illegally, that company would be rolling in debt over all the money they'd be getting sued up their yin-yang over. No. They violated her rights and the trial allowed the company to use her likeness in their movie without her consent. That is illegal. A jury and a judge allowed GGW got away with a crime. The fact that a jury voted this way does not mean except that she lost that trial and the jury that was selected didn't see the crime, but the justice system (including the general public) tends to see things the way I posted about several entrys ago on this thread - that there are no female sex predators, or women victims of certain kinds, or good single male parents. There are probably more problems, but these are hte ones I've recognized as the most serious.

That is completely tangential to the issue at hand; it doesn't matter how virtuous or slutty she is. It matters, however, that people seem to reinterpret the minor permission of "It's okay to film me teasing you" (which is only that it is) with something else, in this case something major. It's a contract law debate, with little bits of sexism and whatever-ism dropping all over the place. I'd prefer to keep this strictly to a legal discussion, but the environment, setting of this case and discussion have been rife with a dual nature - some blaming the plaintiff for bringing it on herself, others for the perception of the plaintiff as being a villain (I believe "money chaser" comes to mind), etc,. It doesn't matter what you perceive it as - what matters is how far can you go with implied consent, how far can you go with making money off of a crime and what are the reasonable expectations. We all go to clubs to party (well, some of us) and often we migrate with the crowd - often times people hide, by accident or intent, notices and signs, for all sorts of reasons. Other times they make them inconspicuous, etc,. I never thought I'd join forces with In This Mind, but, as you know, strange bedfellows.

Actually it is, as her conduct was apparently sufficient to cause the jury to reject her argument. However that is largely irrelevant in a legal sense. It took forever to find this but: http://www.krages.com/ThePhotographersRight.pdf Quote:Members of the public have a very There is an exception for "commercial use" but I suspect a lot of people will be disappointed by what this means: Quote:The most common problem you will run into is a photo with people in it. If you are using their images for editorial purposes, it's usually okay to use them without permission. If Jane Doe were used on the box cover or DVD label a case could have been made for a "commercial use." As that obvious legal remedy was not used I assume that the short video we see is the totality of her involvement. * Note the use of the weasel word "probably."

It doesn't matter if the jury decided to throw out her case - it doesn't mean the jury didn't allow GGW to get away with a crime.

It's illegal to put an actress in a movie without her consent for any length in time. It doesn't matter what kind of movie is being made - they're profitting on her likeness in a product that is a movie. They needed consent from her and they didnt' get it and used her image illegally. Just because the jury didn't agree with this doesn't mean what GGW did was anything but illegal. They commited a crime but didnt' get convicted because of it because the jury didn't see it that way.

I'd need you to cite the "law" that they violated, Syn. First off, we are dealing with civil as opposed to criminal matters, here. Were it a criminal matter the district attorney would have brought the case.
