I’m going to spare you the AP article and give you the only portion they wrote that was factual. Their ‘racial justice protesters’ sentiment taints the article.
The McCloskeys allege that Greenblatt, UPI, and Redbubble are all profiting from “t-shirts, masks, and other items, and licensing use of photographs bearing Plaintiffs’ likenesses, without obtaining Plaintiffs’ consent.”
[…]
Meanwhile, UPI said recently it was considering whether to send a “cease and desist” order to the couple because of their use of the UPI photo as part of a personal greeting card.
If those greeting cards were not for monetary profit and were for personal use, I doubt UPI has a case.
The lesson is; Don’t pull a gun unless you use it. You will be charged either way.
“Gun-waving St. Louis couple…”
Thanks for the summary, but still, even the headline is scummy.
