    if it isn’t, then it should be

  2. kenabiz says:

    YES!!!! IT IS!!!

  3. Bonnie C says:

    I’m pretty sure you can make a case out of it. Just to be sure, you may want to check with a lawyer to confirm.

  4. Jennifer H says:

    well i have no idea about UK laws, but i would sure as hell try if i were you!! Not to mention if the pic was take by a professional photographer i am sure she did not buy the rights to the photo, and you are not allowed to mass produce those things. GO GET HER!!!

  5. Joshua H says:

    Have you asked her politely to remove the picture? If not, and you sue her, you’re a vicious ***.

  6. Agent Smith says:

    That is correct.

    Unless you are a “public figure” you have the right to control use of your image.

    Have a barrister friend write a letter for you. It wouldn’t take much to change the cover.

    Good luck.

    If it is without your permission, it’s illegal and invasion of privacy.

    It’s apparent that she lacks tact if she is a relationship counselor (I noticed a bit of irony sarcasm there.)

  8. Grant M says:

    yes and you can sue them

  9. InsideR says:

    I believe you could, unless she owns the copyright to that photo (which I doubt).

  10. FlcHatrs says:

    Yes, if you demand that it be taken down.

    If they don’t it’s illegal

  11. Lela A says:

    maybe she got permission to use the picture through her son
