They demand Jennifer Lopez for publishing photos of herself taken by Paparazzi

Miami.- Jennifer López was demand by photographer Edwin Blanco and the photo agency Backgrid USA. The accusation presented indicates that the singer and actress shared in social networks photographs of her at the event Amazon MGM Studios X Vanity Fair Party prior to the Golden Globes in January; However, he did not pay licenses to use the image.

As transcended, both the photographer and the agency say they are co -owners of the images and that JLo violated copyright.

Likewise, Peter Perkowski, lawyer for the plaintiffs, argues that the publication of the images on January 5 caused it with the aim of self -promotion, unleashing that other accounts, such as Fanpage And fashion marks, they will reposition them.

“The unauthorized use of the images by Mrs. López has a commercial nature, with the purpose of self -protesting. For example, Mrs. Lopez 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,” he said in a statement.

Agreement

In this regard, it was also reported that a representative of the plaintiffs had managed to have conversations with López’s team and reached a monetary verbal agreement. However, they point out that the interpreter never fulfilled the agreement.

Perkowski recalls that in 2019 he represented a lawsuit against the singer for using an image of her and her exprometed, baseball player Alex Rodríguez. However, it was voluntarily withdrawn in 2020.

“This previous litigation put Mrs. López in warning about the legal requirements and the possible consequences associated with the use of copyright protected images without proper authorization. Despite this, Mrs. Lopez has continued to be involved in similar behaviors, demonstrating an intentional contempt for Backgrid’s copyright through a pattern of conduct that undermines the rights of content creators,” he said.

Now, Jennifer López faces to pay compensation of up to $ 150,000 in damages for each photo, because they are protected by the Federal Copyright Law, which protects photographers and imaging licensees, Billboard explained.
