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?
Really long story,cut very short. Get a lawyer, a good one, have a consultation, if they find you may have a case, hire them, go to court, spend a lot of money, spend weeks, months in litigation. Finally win your case, have the other party pay all your legal expenses and extras, plus the final award amount. And give them a big kick in the arse, and watch them try it again with someone else, with less money who can’t get a proper lawyer.
