In case you don't know what I'm talking about, a quick run-down:
Some college-age girl goes to Mardi Gras, and trying to be like all the other ho's, pulls up her shirt for a bunch of guys and jiggles the goods. Unbeknownst to her, she was being videoed by someone. Well, everything was ok til her daddy was watching TV one day and saw his daughter on the tube in an advertisement for one of those raunchy "Girls gone wild" videos, being distributed nationally. Shaking her teets fer all to see! ;)
Well, dear old Dad, instead of blaming his daughter for using terrible judgement, is now sueing those mean awful guys who made the video. I don't know where the law stands on this, but I gotta say, its kinda interesting to me.
-
You know I'm always waiting for them to find out one of those girls is underage. I thought that might be what this post was going to be about. Now that would be interesting.
-
did she get any beads ?? :)
-
if you photograph someone and sell the photo for profit, you must have a signed photo release, unless it is a newsworthy photo or of a photo of a public figure, big grey area here.
-
Heh, if there's one thing I find newsworthy, it's topless girls :D
-
Hmmm I'm going to have to "review the evidence in chambers".
-
LOL! :D
Im not passing djudjment her but i know what i would do if i was the father!

Maybe one of you Lawyer types will know this:
I have seen one of those infomercials where the guy goes around trading beads for bras or whatever. (strictly for research mind you) Most of the young things he hits up seem to be at least legally drunk if not completely chitfaced. Even if they were to sign a consent form, would it be a legal contract?
hmmmmmmmm.....? More research is needed!

baahh. If you lift your shirt and bare your teets for the world to see and someone gets it on camera and sells it.....FINE haha. Shouldn't be doing dumb things in public if you don't want everyone to know about it. Now...maybe she should get a cut, I can see that but to say it can't be distributed?...naaa, sorry, keep the juggies put away if you don't want them seen. I have no problem with it. Hey....I'll even show you mine if you want, you can sell the pix too! :D

Anyone seen the pop-up adverts for the "BangBus" websight? Oh and before the flames...I must say I have dedicated my life to researching pornography. It's a field that requires intense study in order to predict it's effects on society ...really :rolleyes: . Anyway, apparently these guyz go around in a van, pick up all kinds of women and offer them money to do various naughty things. Then they drop'em off and speed away without paying hahahaah. Well, I figure it's all got to be staged but I wouldn't mind seeing one of the movies anyway...gotta be hilarious.

Hmm...interesting. My initial reaction is that the filming is perfectly ok. When you need permission (written or otherwise) is typically when you are dealing with someone who has an established reputation, a la Tiger Woods. It would be unfair for me to go take pictures of Tiger and sell them, making money off of his good name and reputation. If however, I take a picture of hblair with no shirt on riding his riding lawn mower in his front yard, and sell it on the "Rednecks R Us" website, no problems with that I dont think.
Dunno for sure, just my thoughts ;)

Well, it seems to me that it comes down to the issue of "reasonable expectation of privacy".
The FBI is allowed to eves-drop on the conversations of gangsters without a warrent if they are talking outside in a park or while walking down the street. The justification is there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in that setting.
If the video has been shot inside her serority house, or even the backyard of the serority house it might be different. I can't believe that even twelve Oprah watching, slack-jawed mouth breathers could decide that someone exposing herself in a crowd of several thousand people, on a public street, could then claim any "reasonable expectation of privacy".
IMHO.

I thought they had to get them to sign a release if they are going to publish the video (or pix)? When you see those anti-tobacco commercials on TV, some of the people's faces are covered up.
Hehe, I saw a girl I went to FSU with on one of those things. Mainly because one of segments is from New Years 2000 (dec 31st 99 - Jan 1st 2000) in New Orleans which was FSU vs Va Tech Sugar Bowl year. She woulda been a senior that year, so I definitely know she was in New Orleans. Coolest part is I got a pic of her doing the same thing 3 years before. I loved Sugar Bowl trips!
Fatty, that happened in Panama City Spring Break 2001. Some guys picked up some girls to make a nice little movie. Turned out the girls were only 14 and 15.

Heh, P.C., the cheesiest beach in North America.
Why am I not suprised?

AMEN.

What is all the commotion about? New York state has a law confirming that women hav as much right to walk around topless as men.
No indicency or exploitation involved regardless of the age or state of intoxication.
If someone is making a documantary in the street with a regular equipment (no telephoto/IR lens to observe someone on his/her property), there is no requirement to have release forms signed by everyone in the movie.
Still, the lawers will probably turn it into a very entertaining story...

I kinda wonder about this one.
I see two sides to this that need to be weighed against each other....
Most of the scenarios above describe crowd scenes... yet this film focuses on individuals and uses those individuals to sell itself. That might be legal grounds for something.
On the other hand... if it happened down in RIO... there's other issues that need to be considered. Do the same rules apply internationally? Seems to me Fergie didn't authorize anyone to publish her backyard topless pics... but it happened anyways... and I don't think there's much that can be done about it.
Maybe forcing financial retribution may be possible... but I do believe the film itself will pass as legal.
