While debate regarding unauthorized use of Facebook pics rages on, a photograph from the pre-digital age has gotten one indie group in some serious trouble. Former fashion model Ann Kirsten Kennis is suing buzz band Vampire Weekend for a cool $2 million, claiming a 1983 photo of her was used in their Contra album cover art without her consent.

I always thought it was stupid of them to use that cover and that it would get them into legal trouble.

Laura, why does your dad have an account?

They should just give her a cut of the album sales... easy, problem solved.

Laura, why does your dad have an account?

 

Because he cares.

 

 

He also discovered the Report the Post button. :sick:

There's a button for that? :surprised:

I didn't know they used it without permission, shame on them. :surprised:

If I didn't know beforehand that both of my parents suck at technology and have no interest in the Internet, I might suspect they would stalk me on this site, too. Not that it would matter, of course. I don't usually say anything too risqué that would get me into any sort of "trouble."
