珍妮佛‧羅培茲是最近一位被著作權訴訟侵襲的女演員兼歌手。她和其製作公司被攝影師Steve Sands起訴請求15萬美金之損害賠償，該攝影師主張珍妮佛‧羅培茲未得其授權或同意於自己的instagram上傳其所拍攝之照片。

While the average person may do something similar and get away with it, celebrities often will not, due to the significant number of likes the photo receives and the celebrity’s large number of social media followers. Some say celebrities post these images to brand themselves without permission from the taker of the photo.
然而，一般人只要有涉及侵害著作權之虞，則唯恐避之不及，但名人則否；係因相當數量之人按“讚”及名人廣大之社群跟追者。有些人稱：名人po其未得拍照者同意之照片，係為增加其知名度之故。

This is not the first time Lopez has been sued for posting. Lopez was sued by Splash News and Picture Agency for $150,000 in October 2019, when she posted a photo taken by the company of her now fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, in her Instagram story in 2017. Splash News alleged they were the owner and exclusive copyright holder of the picture.
