Just two months after the end of her second copyright infringement lawsuit, fashion model Jelena Noura “Gigi” Hadid was sued for a third time, on September 13, for copyright infringement for posting paparazzi photos to her social media accounts without the license or permission of the photographer. Other celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and, most recently, Justin Bieber, have made news for the same situation. This trend falls into an interesting intersection of two significant tenets of law: a celebrity’s right of publicity in their own image and a photographer’s right to copyright their artistic work.
就在Jelena Noura “Gigi” Hadid 名模第二樁侵害著作權訴訟終結二個月後,其又以未經拍攝者之授權或同意將拍攝者所拍之照片布告在其社群網頁上而被訴。其他諸如Jennifer Lopez 、Victoria Beckham和最近Justin Bieber亦同樣以相同之情形而躍上新聞版面。此彰顯出兩個值得注目的法律原則落入一個有趣交錯的走勢:名人就其樣貌之知名度與拍攝者就其所攝攝影著作之著作權,兩者之交互作用及何者優先受到保護,而排除他者。
