OK, for example if i took a screen capture of someones webcam on MSN and it was of their boobs or something, they're over 18 and so am I.

She gets pissed off and does something bad to me.. Can i show the screen capture or is it illegal? The individual lives overseas in Japan and is not Australian.

She said she will call the police if i had those pictures but.. I dont actually have them.

If i did, and i did show them on the internet could i get arrested?

Thanks

We will need to see the pics to judge this issue fairly

I very much doubt it, though releasing them to the public might be another matter

The bandwagon just called and said "How many people has Kat had arrested?"

well, if i was to show people indivudually would that be illegal?
She lives in japan and therefore im wondering does her copyright extend here?

ALso, what if i showed pictures of her in a Gstring or something and not 100% naked?? would that make a difference??

Thanks

This is still theoretical right?

For some reason, I just find that concept really amusing. People having copyright on their own bodyparts, that'd be an interesting case to argue in court!

Yep

post the f***in pics. also is that sig from your webcam

Yes we will need to see the spoot .... er pics *shifty eyes* to make a more informed opinion on the matter.

I wouldn't think she could get you in trouble though since she was dumb enough to disseminate the data in the first place. (Webcam stream)

pics or lying

oh dopefish, one of your camwhores has gotten the better of you.

so I guess you are only going to Japan for the job now and not a f*** as well?

its illegal in QLD to record someones voice, record someones image (take video or pictures) without explicit permission.

its also illegal to distribute said records, whether made legally or illegally without written consent.



i'd still say do it because the only person who can complain is her, and i doubt she would get in contact with QPS over this.



so...pics!

yea but its the freakin internet, anything goes...

she wasnt in Australia tho do does that change anything. (if i was to do it) (theoretically)


also im not posting the pics you psychos

Dopefish, well if you screenshot the picture here, then you are in QLD and the offense happening in QLD not Japan.

At least that is the logic I am given in regards to laws being breeched over state boarders, don't know about international boarders.

I know I am a girl and all and I am not fully understanding but why take pictures of someone only to use them against them in the future? Why bother?

Yeah, but it could be argued all he did was take a screenshot, he wasn't the one taking the photos - in fact that was done by the person in question! It would be no different to taking a screenshot of your desktop with some topless chick on it (since the person put the webcam up publically in the first place).

it wasnt in this case public raven, its private

plz email me pix here
daves_mirage@yahoo.com

and i will distribute them for you, resolving you of all possibly guilt

People having copyright on their own bodyparts, that'd be an interesting case to argue in court!

The person taking the photo has copyright. Which in this case is her. However, if you had taken the photos of her boobs, you'd have copyright.

Err, really? How does today tonight possibly air then

host the pictures on imageshack.us (not in Aus) and accidentally paste the link in IRC.

I think it has something to do with 'public domain'. I dunno.

persay. i was wrong. its not permission its knowledge. just checked my textbooks.

It is illegal for an entity to make an audio or visual recording of a person without their knowledge
An approved court order is the only way to avoid this.

It is illegal to distribute for commercial purposes without the others written permission.

Thats the way cops tape interviews etc: they just say, this interview will be recording.

they dont need permission too, the other party just has to know the recording is taking place.

If you don't post the pics I will call the cops.

This case is quite informative in relation to the common law tort of invasinon of privacy covering both the law in New Zealand and Australia, esp para 54 on.

The case addresses the issue of the unlawful taking of a photograph e.g. by paparazzi.

[59] Essentially, therefore, the High Court of Australia has not ruled out the possibility of a common law tort of privacy, nor has it embraced it with open arms. As it currently stands, the case law provides this Court with little guidance on relevant principles.

it seems there is no law at this stage in relation to the unlawful taking of a photograph of another person without their permission.

record someones image (take video or pictures) without explicit permission.

hang on so why has it only become illegal to take photos of minors. wouldn't they have already been covered under this law you speak of?

sif anyone is going to get in trouble for posting a few grainy webcam pics of some chick's rack

This thread needs more boobs and less law talk.

im just wondering, who's police is she going to call? cause seriously, i didn't know that japaniese police had any power over here

I have witnessed the exact same situation and have on very good authority that if you were to release the picture, SHE would get in trouble for some kind of nudity or something along those lines. This is just what I was told due to witnessing an almost identicle experience with a friend

TTIWWP

i didn't know that japaniese police had any power over here

In thory she could complain to our police.

For the OP just because she lives in Japan doesn't mean squat. At the end of the days you have to abide by our laws, and our laws state you can't show peoples images without their consent.

you should be able to post all aforementioned pix here as long as you cover up the offending bannable body parts (or face i spose) with the qgl logo yeah ?

well cmon it works on all our other spoot !

HAHA

Someone has an asian fetish

not that theres anything wrong with that.

This would be a good one!

She hasnt given consent to be recoreded, but she probablly hasnt given consent to be on "video"

Normally (in aus) with photography, if you are in public and take a photo, then thats your right. Thats why paperatzise (spelling) can get away with celb shots with a big fk off lens.

Also, there is a "loop hole" with credit cards. For example, its illeagle to store someones credit card details without their consent. However, buy make a internet purchase with a credit card, the details are "stored" for a short period of time on your isp proxy server, and so on.

So you could argue that by allowing a webstream, you are allowing the viewer to "record" the video.

By giving consent to a webstream, you could argue that the images have to be stored, weather it be in a proxy cache or not, so therefor you are giving consent to be "recorded"

Yo spook when you get the azn boobs send em my way ... you know the place ;P

cool, I'm going to sue all you bitches who photoshop me :)

She will call out the ninjas, then the law wont be the only thing you have to worry about. I heard about this one guy who posted a gif, so the ninjas killed the whole town.
