  • Any lawyers? Anyone who knows if I have any rights in this situation? Please help :(

    Hi

    Of course im going to contact an attorney or someone in the morning but I just happened to run across a boyfriend of a family member of mine who put a picture of me on his myspace account. He manipulated the picture very badly, and put a raunchy caption to go with it. Its still clear that its me. But im just wondering. Since i've contact myspace and there is nothing they can do about it, they wont delete it because its not a copywrited picture which would be against the rules of myspace. So....is there really anything that I can do? Or do I just have to deal with the public humiliation?

    I cant believe this is happening. Any advice would be wonderful, thanks everyone.

                  Yes you absolutely definitely can get it removed and you can also sue him.
                  There's been quite a lot of high profile cases with exactly the same situation as you.
