I recently came across some online articles that are 10-12 years old, that feature Urban Outfitters’ marketing technique: using photos social media users tag them for selling products.

Last year I did TFP with a model and found out that they tagged UO who used my photo.

In the case for social media users, is this ethical? I get making money off of customers and bringing attention to their products, but is there a limit?

Can registering copyright stop them from using my photo? In my case, how do I proceed with this?

    I guess if it was posted on IG or Facebook then there’s not much you can do, these sites usually make you sign off your picture rights by accepting their Terms. For next time you could let the involved people know that you dont want any brand tags on the social posts.

      That’s not how it works. You agree to let Instagram/Facebook use your images but that doesn’t mean any one can use them.
