Posting Nude Pictures on the Internet

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Ohio

My husband emailed me nude pictures that a female coworker of his had sent to him via text message. This person has been trying to seduce my husband for some time in my opinion. Is it against the law for me to now post these pictures on the internet?

Yep. She can sue you into oblivion on both copyright infringement and invasion of privacy.

How about you look into marriage counseling, since your husband can't seem to tell this woman to step off?

how is it copyright infringement or invasion of privacy though if she willingly sent these photos?

there was nothing in the email that stated that she wished them to be kept private.

Did you create the photos? No? Then posting them to the internet without the permission of the person who created them is copyright infringement. You don't get to make use of someone else's intellectual property just because you're pissed at the model.

Did she send the photos to you, directly? No? Then they were not intended for you, and you are invading her privacy if you post them. You may also find yourself brought up on harassment charges if you post them.

Your husband is not innocent here, love. He has the option of blocking her number. Do note that he hasn't, and kindly don't shoot the messenger.

Missy is absolutely correct.

Publish those photos at your own risk.

She does not have to explicitly state that she doesn't want them published. There have been, literally, hundreds of cases where the models have successfully sued the spurned spouse who published them online.

What IS your husband doing about this, incidentally?

it's just a picture. it's definitely not art of any sort. also, she may not have sent them to me, but he did. and as i stated before there was no mention of keeping them private.

I honestly think i am at the point where enough is just enough. I feel like if i don't do something drastic then this girl is going to continue to taunt me. And yes it may sound vengeful, but I think she should learn to keep her naked pictures between her and her own husband.

it doesn't have to be art to be copyright protected. What I just typed is copyright protected. The picture of the huge piles of dog poo in my back yard are copyright protected.

then live with the consequences. Remember; your husband could end this anytime he chooses. Apparently he chooses to not stop this flirting. You are chasing the wrong rabbit. Nothing can happen unless your husband allows it and it appears he is allowing this to continue.

She didn't taunt you.

Your husband did - by sending you the pictures to begin with.

Don't do this, Amanda. Don't. I know you're hurting, and pissed, and angry, and wanting to lash out - but don't do anything stupid.

Breathe. Take some deep breaths.

The pictures of my dogs that I stick on Facebook are copyrighted. Even though I took them with my smartphone instead of a Hasseblad, even though I stick 'em on Facebook instead of an art gallery. They're still my property, I get to decide who may copy them and where they may be posted, and I don't have to specify that, because US Copyright Law already affords me that right, the moment I take the picture.

Whoa, no, hold up. She's not taunting you. The jerk you're married to is. Does she have some responsibility here? You betcha. But your husband bears more responsibility - he had a responsibility to tell her to step off, to block her number, and to delete the photos instead of sending them to you. I'm sorry, honey, I know you don't want to hear this, but your husband is trying to manipulate you and deliberately hurt you. His behavior is abhorrent, and you can do better than some mental midget thinking with his little head instead of the one contained in his cranium. It's easy to be mad at the "homewrecker", but that's a bit misguided.

DTMFA. Tell me your county, and I'll tell you where to get a referral for a divorce lawyer.

You can email them to me and I'll post them if that helps.

lol. what's your email address? jkjk. thanks for the laugh though. i SERIOUSLY needed it.

Out of curiosity, what was the reasoning behind him fowarding those pictures to you?

To brag, to show her he's still got game, to get her opinion. I do the same thing when chicks send me naked pics of themselves.

I kinda gathered that, but she referenced him as her husband and she wanted to punish the girl that is trying to seduce him. The girl is not wrong. She has no obligation to making OP happy. Her husband on the other hand is bogus as hell. She might want to reorganize her animosity a little bit.

If you use that lne of thought, You'd think that he'd change his phone number or something to show that he was thoroughly digusted with her advances and he would not tolerate this behavior. OP's statement of being tired of the other woman's taunts indicated to me that this is not an isolated incdent. OP's husband gives me the impression that he is loving this whole thing.

I can see it...

"I am loving this ..."

"...what do you mean you're gonna tell my wife if I don't leave her?!"

"Oh crap...I gotta do some damage control...hey wife, have you seen what this crazy woman is sending me?!"

Yeah, but you gotta make the girl look like she's crazy now. "I'm showing you her picture, but I'm keeping my line open to her, so that if she ever wants to do it again, I can show you that too."

If he was going for damage control, he'd need to cut off the phone access. At least the contact that the wife knows about. To forward the pictures, but leave it at that, you are rubbing it in if you ask me.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.....

He had options of telling the woman to back off. He had the option to delete the pics from his camera and block her.

Hey. Be nice. People can learn a lesson and not repeat it. I don't think that this idiot is one of them.

I just may be a bit jaded....
