Guy Game Suit

Cox News (thanks HomeLAN Fed) reports a teenage girl has targeted Topheavy Studios, Gathering of Developers, Sony Computer Entertainment, and Microsoft Corp. with a lawsuit over appearing in her birthday suit in the Guy Game, the intellectual romp centering around such salacious moments. Reportedly, the girl did not consent to appearing in the game, and apparently being 17 at the time would make such permission moot anyway.

" When you are in a public place one technicly does not need your permission to take your picture with a camera. So in theory since this "lady" was stupid enough to bare it all to the camera knowing full well the consiquences I feel that she deserves the huminilation as a reward for her blatent stupidity. "

Well taking pics is one thing - making money off them is another thing entirely.

Exactly. It's not about the boobies, and who showed them when or why.

It is NOT this girl's job to make sure that nude photos of her don't get used without her permission in a videogame. It's not. For one thing, she's a MINOR, and therefore not even legally allowed to GIVE them the right to use them (furthermore, it is ILLEGAL for them to use them no matter how hard she might have begged). But it doesn't even matter; the girl's only job is to live her life, have fun, and take her clothes off in public if that's her thing.

As I said before, there are a MILLION people between her doing that, and you and I seeing it in a PUBLISHED video game, whose job it is to ensure they have the RIGHT to use her likeness in their product. Period. And it's standard operating procedure for any ONE of them to check repeatedly throughout the course of production that the permissions are on file.
