Photographer: You violated my copyright.

James ...

As the first active player, the Lakers led by James have entered the West, leading the Nuggets by 3-/kloc-0. As long as he wins one more game, James can enter the finals again and work hard for his fourth championship. However, you know that James was complained by the photographer because he published his own dunk photo, and he was asked to pay a fine. It is estimated that this is another big embarrassment of Lao Zhan's career. Speaking of this inexplicable "lawsuit", it is really funny. What happened then? Come with me slowly.

It turned out that after the Lakers played against the Heat on February 3, 20 19, James had a whim and posted a photo of himself on social media. It is the picture below (domineering! )↓↓↓

But this perfectly normal thing was stirred up by a photographer. NBA photographer Steven Mitchell filed a lawsuit against Lao Zhan. It turned out that when James forwarded this picture, he did not contact the photographer in advance to get his permission.

Mitchell asked James to compensate for all the profits of the post related to this photo, or to compensate Zhan for $6.5438+$0.5 million every time he used this photo. This is really robbing money. Everyone knows that James made millions of dollars in a Twitter advertisement. If I have to pay $6.5438+0.5 million for each use, I want to be a photographer. This money is really easy to earn.

Of course, Mitchell's practice did not violate the regulations, because the portrait rights of all players in the league are represented by the league, and photographers are also authorized by the league to shoot, so they have photos, and others need the permission of photographers to use them.

But I think this photographer is still a little eccentric. After all, Lao Zhan just thinks that his dunk is good, and it is not used for commercial purposes, let alone his own photo. If you really want to sue old Zhan, can he also sue Mitchell for violating his portrait rights? what do you think?
