That happens all over the third world they don't have the same copyright/ privacy protections as the states. ADOS stock photos are all over the Black world.

I work in the industry, and this absolutely happens. A lot of models don’t have a lot of money, and do stock photo shoots for $150-$500, then the photos can be used over and over again, for anything. Some of them get screwed once they make it, because it can create a product conflict for a potential booking. If you book Pringles, you can’t also have images of your face for Lays. Converse isn’t using the same models as Sketchers, etc.

Yeah this happened to someone I know. She was an amateur model, something for fun and not trying to make it a career. Anyways one of her photos was used in advertisement for a local businesses. Nothing explict or anything.

I wasn't trolling. I seen pictures of random people/ stock photos in the states all over Kenya.

No it's not
Laws are laws.. corruption only goes so far
They are plenty of legit lawyers who would give those hospitals the work
Y'all need to stop acting as if Africans are some lawless savages
And I don't give a fukk if you are African
You don't know what you are talking about

Technically the Kenyan Hospital did violate Kenyan Fair use law, but the family won't get more than a cease and desist order out of it.

Timbaland have been successfully sued by plenty of overseas artists he jacked from

A lot of times when you take professional pics, they ask you to sign sh-t and you end up signing away your rights to those pics and they can use them how they see fit. My son’s picture was up in a popular department store but I didn’t mind.

Why did the first person assume it wasn't a stock photo?

Exactly, gotta be more to the story here. We see photos of people in ads all day long, why did this one throw up a red flag?

most likely she and her family signed away the rights of fair use for these photos so she could later get on Twitter, act shocked, and get clout

got 75K likes...mission accomplished

 

[Edub]

[Greenhornet]

I would be flattered ... check the law and if it didnt matter, I would keep it moving and try to get my face out into more places
