Is it legal to store pictures of people you may or may not know on your computer? ?


For instance if i go on one persons photo album on their Myspace page and then download adjectives the photos of it Hey people im not weird lol, its just something i hold been wondering for a very long time
Best Answer:
It is only unlawful if you use those images commercially or if you intend to cause harm, awkwardness or use the images in any way that the author or subject hasn't agreed to. Contary to most of the answers on here copyright is other with the author unless there is an agreement with the subject to the contrary. You do not involve to go through a process of copyrighting them.
Ya they put it there you can its a bad diea to put your pics on the network since ur the reason why lol don't worry alot of people do it >.>
perverted ones yes non perverted ones no
I don't know... but I think it's legal, 'cause that person is showing his pics anyway.
If it's not decriminalized then you'd better go through all your holiday snaps and stamp out everyone you don't know. Or never take photographs of anything if other people are in the frame, or never cart photo's full stop. Yes, it's legal but then a lot of photo's are copyright but individual if you intend tor reproduce them for commercial purposes. So chill out and stop worrying about what other people do and worry something like what you're doing and why?
obviously no, unlees you sell it.
it is lawful ! read the myspase terms of service on the bottom of the page.
Im pretty darn sure its legal if theyve put the photos on the internet without copy righting them - like on myspace or photobucket. There are option to make their photos private, or un-sharable if they cared about relations copying them.
stalker much? it's kinday scary if you don't know them.. but I'd say-so it's legal.
yeah it's legal, but that doesnt mean it's not creepy..
Yes it's legal as the photos are on a public forum. You sound a bit creepy though if you're storing peoples photos...
Man!! If it's illegal, all of us would be contained by jail!
i dont feel its illegal, just they may find it creepy. sure people down nouns celebrity pics all the time?
Yes it's decriminalized. That person made those pictures public when they posted them.
Unless other wise stated you can download and store pictures unless those pictures constitute child porn surrounded by which case it is illegal. Storing normal pictures is mostly not a prob it is a prob if you use those pictures for any unlawful purpose or breech copyright by reusing those pics for commercial or profit and endorsement them off as your own work
if its in the public domain, then no.
idk but its strange
yes you can do that but why would you want to?? weird...
Yes, it is permitted.
You can do that as long as you are not posting them for the public to see. You have to have okay to post them or use them publically. If the pics are on your computer, you are in the clear. Make sure that none of the pics can be considered child porn. If you have child porn on your computer it will not matter if they are for you or for the public, detention centre will be in your future.
It is legal for you to look at them - as soon as you unfold the page you are effectively downloading them as they are in the cache on your browser. It is NOT legal though for you to then display them on your own page or even to have them printed and show them to to others. That part would be against copyright. The copyright of the pictures belongs to the original artist (i.e. the human being who took the picture in most cases).
Yah its fine Just so long as it ain't dirty ahaha m
hmm i never thought about that! i would like to know the answer to that too lol :) but i ruminate it is since they download it for other ppl to see
article 8 of the human rights charter may give you the answer
Depends on what moral Nazis are watching.
I didn't look this up or anything...but I can tell by the answers on this page, neither did anyone else...but here is the common sense method that I hear on some websites (like for instance. one I saw on making machinima) As long as the pic doesn’t have a copyright and/or you do not try to put up for sale them for a profit. It should be legal. Think about it...it would be no different then if you photocopied a pic (assuming you didn't steal it from them surrounded by order to make a photocopy).
I tin it shld be fine as long as u dont spread it around or post it else where :)
