“LOL ginawa silang couple ng kapatid nya. Langhiyang app, di nalang kumuha ng model.nagnakaw pa ng pic Ng artista.”
Based on the article published in www.nolo.com, a person has three reasons to stop a website from unauthorized use of photo.
- invasion of privacy
- violation of right of publicity
- defamation
In the case of Ara Mina, the dating application violated her right of publicity. It is because her photo was used for commercial purposes without her authorization.
