OOPS ! nude photos

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Dang phone.
Don't ya just hate that.

A US couple is suing McDonald's for $3m (£2m) after
nude photos of the woman, which were on her husband's
mobile phone, ended up on the internet.

What people won't do to try and get ahead in this world.

I'm sorry Sherm but I've got's to say it---bet the pic was of two sesame seed buns with special sauce.

First of all, I think it's kind of prudish, at best, to think that taking or having nude photos of your spouse is something you should be ashamed of.

Second of all - who's business is it what's on your phone, or your camera, or in your house - nobody's - that's who's.

Thirdly, I don't think the McDonald's Corp. is at fault, but, if you left your wallet at the restaurant and they held it for you - and all the money was missing - you'd be thinking differently I'd bet.

I do think someone is responsible - whoever agreed to take care of the phone. Legally. If you agree to take care of someone's possession, you are legally liable to make sure that it is returned in the same shape you received it in. Stealing the contents is NOT returning it the way you
got it.

I guess privacy is a thing of the past.

Mrs O,
I bet the pictures was still in the phone ! So nobody stole anything ! The phone was probably in the same condition !

All they probably have to do is check the email sent file if it wasn't erased.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

You cannot steal photographs - its illegal.

I agree with this the only person responsable is the person who promised to
take care of it.

Then again.
Did they get their phone back as Promised
were the pics still in it ? ?

this person may have commited a legal rights crime
by publishing without a release but other then that

no harm no foul in my opinion
Mckeydoogles isn't a fault
unless their board of directors was directly involved.
Does McD's get Stolen by the D.A. & Sold at Sheriffs sale
everytime one of their Employees gets cauught
selling weed through the Drive Through ?
No. not their fault.

I didn't know they were doing that. So when they ask ifyou'd "like fries or anything else" with your order, you can ask for a McBlunt.

I'm smelling a rat as a previous poster stated. How do we know the guy didn't post them to the internet himself just before leaving the phone at mickey D's. They have deep pockets...remember the spilled coffee fiasco.

IMO, just another low class moe-ron looking for a fast buck. If these people were so concerned with his wife's
vanity, why send these pics in the first place. Why doesn't he sue the company that made the cell phone that
takes pictures, they should have made them id-i-ot proof. The judge should throw this case out & fine the lawyer
for presenting it.

My guess the first thing they tried was Hiring
a Lawyer to sue the site they were Posted.

The Lawyer Checked & realized they had an Iron clad system
that couldn't be sued without alot of money & Time.

So the Lawyer suggested Mickey's because they will
more then likely offer a settlement.

Phone Company would be a last resort

I was thinking of that old song..."Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, and some pics of some cellulite laden buns..."

Mrs O,

McGearhead--"shame" is not an issue here--the couple was not ashamed (and had NO reason to be ashamed!) when it was just each other that the photos were between. Of COURSE they're ashamed now that the whole World can view them! I don't know what type of foolish logic would state otherwise!

If they were posted on the internet by a McDo employee, then it is defamation--and theft.  Those photographs were the property of those who took them!  If you don't believe that, then you should do some research into copyright law.  They cannot be legally posted by anyone else without permission--and Especially photos of such a "sensitive" nature.  That amounts to defamation or slander.


Well said, Mrs. O!


Those who have a problem with a husband and wife having a little fun should probably join a monastery.   :P


Nothing wrong with that. 



(But I do agree that there is probably a fraudulent law suit in the making--such an easy set-up for a big payoff.)

Trouble is, on a Mickle_Dees Wage the Kid has nothing

so they go after the Burger Man

This happened in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Trust me... up there on the Hill they'd have posted the photos even if they were multimillionaires. Heck, I'm surprised they didn't plaster 'em all the way up and down Dickson Street.

I forgot one more thing...
If this was " stealing " pics, than what about me doing copy and paste on my computer ? There is a thing called a copyright law. Did they have these pics copyrighted ?

yea I don't think Copyright applies but I'm no up on the whole law.

But release forms apply with Posting nudes Because of age limits
and Personal Privacy. Not sure about sites that are open
to anyone to post. utube, etc. because by signing up you sign
a Waiver it is on You Personally

 

[lumbercamp]

The copyright law for photos is that as soon as you take the picture it is yours for your lifetime plus 75 years after your death

Infringement of copyright--or failure to "cite" the website a photo came from can--and has--resulted in a post being deleted on here.

Other than that, I dunno--and since the Internet is international, I'm sure copyright law is even more complicated online.
