Woman finds out her family photo is being used in hospitals in Kenya

[Rozay Oro]

It’s fukked but havin your family used as a stock photo in the motherland is kinda dope.

 

[Goat poster]

thats easy money to any lawyer worth his/her salt

What jurisdiction will preside over the case?
How do you enforce the ruling?

are there any cases that can be pointed to as an example?

prolly cost waaay more than it’s worth

 

[Magic Mulatto]

This bytch some kind of Blasian or Blaxican?

This is for the motherland so conider it a blessing

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

You clearly have no understanding of the process and yes its difficult to file and win cases in most african courts if ur not from there....Most courts over there require local attorneys to file the cases,most foreign attorneys ability would be limited in those courts...and ur operating under THERE law...I dont know Kenyan law but if its legal to use internet images publicly theres nothing you could do...

I'm trying to figure out how someone saw their picture in Africa and thought to say anything....

And why are people on here saying you can't sue someone overseas?


Any person or company on this damn earth... At any point can be sued for anything...

Every continent, any borough... a muthafuka living on a boat in the middle of the ocean can catch some paper work

Unless you're upset about not being paid, what's the issue, its not some random nudes on the internet making money.

How much money are you willing to expend to not only hire international bussiness lawyers in the US, but alsoAfrican ones? How much for IP lawyers? How much on interpreters? How much will you spend to convince your embassy to give a damn about your baby pictures? How many african govt officials will you bribe to even find the dude who made the decision to put the picture up in the first place?



In the end its not worth it. That woman could literally spend tens of thousands of dollars to only get few grand back from them. And that child could be a grown woman by the time the payout gets cleared-to her parents.


@mag357 , have you been to the continent yet? Ive been to 6 nations out there and i came from fcking Egypt 2wks ago and i can tell you dealing with these 3rd world govts is the same everywhere. Sht is unnecessarily slow and expensive. I literally cannnot tell you how much "tip" (bribe) money i had to spend just to get a single document from a single Egyptian govt office to fly back to the US, and their beauracracy was honestly more streamlined than most subsaharan african countries; so i dont wanna imagine what kenya and nigeria will do to her.

Why do people post on social media? To get attention. To attract attention.

If they didn’t want random people to see their images, they could’ve made their account private. But they didn’t. 200k followers.


The irony is she labels herself an influencer, then feels some type of way about influencing something
