I was just reading this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2046644/Binge-drinking-What-drives-young-women-path-self-destruction.html. If someone took a photo of me and stuck it in a national newspaper or site I'd be furious. The same thing annoys me about Google streetview. Did I imagine it or did it used to be the case that you had to get people's permission to use their image in newspapers etc?

*weeschmoo* · 08/10/11 - 20:43

Oh my!! I would I'd be furious too - I hate getting my photo taken and would go off my head if a picture of me steaming out of my head with my ass facing towards a camera was in the papers.

This a flagrant breach of my privacy, they're all my exes.

I'd be f**king livid if they took a photo of me sitting down to enjoy my Gyros and then used it in some shitty piece on binge drinking.

By going out in public you have pretty much given up any right to privacy. If you go out, get shedded and a picture of you ends up in some newspaper, well there's a lesson to be learned there. You could be as furious as you want to be, it would be your own fault.

It's probably an actress who got paid - her facial expression to me seems remarkably calm for someone who is supposed to be so drunk she can't get home.

Yes, but what of the ones they've pictured in that article that aren't staggering drunk but just sitting down enjoying a munch.

I was trying to work out how to use that new version of Google earth where you can go from street view up into the air the other day. I went around the corner and there was a bloke lugging things out of his car with his wife looking straight at the camera with a puzzled look - not pixelated (is that the right word?)

I don't like it, I may have to stay in forever

I'd also say that she wouldn't have been that bothered about having her head on the bare pavement either if she'd been that drunk.

How about when there is a story about obesity and they show overweight poeple on the highstreet. I'd be livid if they showed my big bum as an example

[Deleted User] · 08/10/11 - 21:14

Will they be holding an identity parade for you?

[Deleted User] · 08/10/11 - 21:16

You can moan all you want, but if you are in a public place there is nothing you can do about it, it's perfectly legal.

Lesson: Don't make such an arse of yourself

I had a serious motor cycle accident in the 80's, someone took a photo of me receiving medical attention at the scene and put it in the local rag. When I complained they said there was nothing I could do as it was in public view.

God, the DM is such trash, isn't it?

[Deleted User] · 08/10/11 - 22:00

According to Liz, these people have no dignity or self-respect anyway, so who cares. Heck they might even be proud to see themselves on newspaper looking beautiful.

I like the way they say her handbag is cheap. How do they even know what it looks like? Her head is on it!!

That's all fair and good, but what of the ones who pictured in an article on binge drinking who're not doing anything ant-social?

Lying asleep on the pavement in a drunken stupor - fair enough, you asked for it. Staggering about and looking as if you're just about to go arse over tit - again, equally fair. Sitting their enjoying a munch and getting labelled, by association, as an anti-social binge drinker is'nt fair at all.

I hate the idea of that, imagine me minding my own business and then the next thing I know I am in an advert that is all over the news!! That happened to me, when I lived in Australia..I was hating it.

Have you been watching peep show?

Basically, if you're out in a public place, you have no rights to prevent photographs of you being taken and even published. The person with the rights over that image and what happens to it is the photographer.

I'd actually like that to happen to me

Wouldn't it be great if I was cycling with earphones on, and someone photographed me for an article on the danger of cycling with earphones? I asked for it in the first place anyway.

No, not recently. I didn't know it was still showing.

I was annoyed, how dare they use my image to promote their news?? pumps that they are.

I take photos around my city and put them online all the time. I've only once had someone complain, some awful dirty mad old woman with a shopping cart. She accosted me and demanded to know if I'd taken her photograph. I lied and said 'no'. She said 'just make sure you haven't'. I was miles away from her too.

Hey there!
