Stealing Pictures... :/

No you don’t because it isn’t illegal

If they were pretending to be you then they can get in a lot of trouble off the police. :)

They could possibly get in trouble with the law. I would call the police

I’m sure if you contact Tom, myspace founder, he can do something about it.

blerggher but posing as someone else is,same as if you were pretending to be a doctor,the person can get in a heck of a lot of trouble under the charges of ;fraud, slander, and maybe impersonation IF thats a real charge lol. But yea I member a case where some kids faced legal action just b/c they were pretending to be someone on myspace.

Actually it IS under the account of fraud,taking other people’s pictures and pretending to be them basically it’s identity theft and thats your best defense?B/c it just isn’t?wow

you have nothing to gain over making a fake myspace, identity theft is using someones identity to steal from them or make credit cards in their name pretending to be someone on myspace is not identity theft. And my best defense? you said making a fake myspace is equivalent to impersonating a doctor??? you need to read up on stuff before giving bad advice.

Different people gain different things from pretending to be someone else just b/c you think they have nothing to gain they actually might,like people liking them or popularity on the internet. For credit cards that’s one type of identity theft the most common actually “Identity theft is a term used to refer to fraud that involves someone pretending to be someone else in order to steal money or get other benefits”and here are several definitions of fraud: 1.deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.

2.a particular instance of such deceit or trickery: mail fraud; election frauds.

3.any deception, trickery, or humbug.

4.a person who makes deceitful pretenses; sham; poseur.

5.One who assumes a false pose; an impostor.(BINGO!)

Identity theft is divided into 5 sub categories one of which is; *identity cloning (using another’s information to assume his or her identity in daily life) As in the case of myspace,facebook,etc.

“Using another persons photo is very dangerous and illegal”

I do read up on my stuff in fact I do my research instead of going on some gut feeling like “some” people

SO me doing my research and finding out whether or not it’s true is bad advice?And what yours is excellent advice?Uh no thanks I’d rather keep doing what I do and actually giving out advice that is potentially helpful.

This was posted a while ago so I hope I still get an answer.

Some one had stolen my pictures(ONLY pictures) they did not use my name. my age or my location. Just used my pictures can they still get in trouble?

These were posted a while ago so I hope I can still get my question answered.

Some one has stole my pictured and I found out who. But they just used the PICTURES. Not my name. age. or same location. Can they still get in trouble?

Making a a social site account isn’t illigeal,however,copying/intending to be someone else,posing to be someone else,is illigeal.Tom will ban the person who did it,but that doesn’t mean the person stealing your photo’s will stop and has rid of your pics.So the best thing to do is maybe call the police and give the url, and then when they arrest and or charge person whatever the deal is when they get their punishment,you can tell tom and he will ban her/him.All done! If it continues,this person can get in the slammer for quite some time for impersonating. Hope this helped!
