Yes, photos whose only value lies in the fame of the subject. I think people deserve some form of rights to images of themselves, since they created that value by doing whatever made them worth photographing. Our legal system should acknowledge that.
And yet they hired that photographer specifically because not every photographer is the same. The value is in both the photography and the subject and ps our legal system does. This sounds like a contract dispute.
Unless you make a different contract, a photographer has all rights to all photos they take of anyone, whether they were hired or not. I’m not talking about Ozzie’s problem, I’m talking about how the law works in general.
Yeah and if Ozzy were using them in a professional context (like for an album cover) then the professional photographer should be compensated.
But if he’s he’s just posting some photos of himself with his friends online, then it’s a big nothing burger and the photographer should be a professional about it and consider it as fair use. Whether it fits the legal definition of fair use will need to be decided in court, but a real professional wouldn’t consider it worth the time and loss of trust with other customers to pursue it.
Oh it’s photos of Ozzy taken by a professional photographer that were posted without the photographer’s permission.
