You know using my picture in your signature is a violation of Internet harassment laws, mainly because I never consented to it being used?
|
Can you link me to where it says that? And where it says that your picture can not be used if you give it to somebody?
|
w00t?

I think that's AK being a 'tard.
It's not harrasment unless it's consistent and continual, even then it'd be a hard thing to prove since, AFAIK, you're not actually harrassing him with words.
If it was me I'd let it drop and just ask permission next to post a pic of him.
There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

it WAS at http://www.onlineharassment.com, unfortunatly that site is now down. However, after a quick search of the forum (yes this was brough up before), I'll requote what I had pasted in that topic. Straight from that site.
Invasion of Privacy
This may apply if the subject of the photo is portrayed falsely and/or in an offensive manner. It is also considered an invasion of privacy if the photograph was taken while the subject was in a situation where privacy was expected, i.e., the photographer took the photo while peeping through a bedroom window. Photos taken in a public place or at a gathering or event where the public is invited, generally does not constitute invasion of privacy.
Right of Publicity
This can occur when a photo is used on a commercial website. The unauthorized use of a photograph on web site that is selling a product or service would probably violate an individual's right of publicity as it may appear that the subject is endorsing the product or service.
Defamation
Generally, this is when a photo is used to injure the subject's reputation. For example, if a photo is altered so that the subject's head appears on the body of a naked person or it is made to appear that the person is falsely engaged in illicit, illegal or inappropriate acts that would cause people to think less of him/her.
Pick which one this would fall under. Mind you simple posting it in its original form would be fine. Unless something else would suggest otherwise.
