The actress published the images on Instagram and X causing it to be replicated by other people, even by the synthetic skin shelter designer that the artist was wearing.
“The unauthorized use of the images by Mrs. Lopez has a commercial nature, with the purpose of self -protection,” wrote lawyer Peter Perkowski, according to Billboard.
“For example, Mrs. López used the images to highlight the designer of her clothes and jewelry, taking advantage of the advertising of the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand associations.”
Backgrid and Blanco plaintiffs claim that López deliberately violated the Federal Copyright Law. According to the medium, JLo would have to pay up to $ 150,000 in damages for each photo.
As they explained, The co -owners of the images contacted López’s team and reached a verbal monetary agreement. However, the producer also did not sign a written agreement or pay the promised money.
The lawyer of the plaintiff argues that It is not the first time that Jennifer López incurs an alleged copyright violation. In 2019, the artist was sued to publish on her social networks a photograph taken by a paparazzi in which she appeared with her then partner, Álex Rodríguez. Although the case was voluntarily removed in 2020, the lawyer emphasizes that this antecedent demonstrates a pattern of conduct.
“Despite having previously faced the consequences for this type of infraction, Mrs. López has persisted in similar behaviors, evidencing a deliberate contempt for Backgrid’s copyright, within a pattern that undermines the work and rights of content creators,” said the representative.
