I have seen these bold-faced, shouted warnings on some profiles, and wondered what exactly was going on that made them feel it was needed. It always radiates a vibe of fear and paranoia and leaves me quite hesitant to correspond with them in any form. Has there been any known case of the media quoting from an individual profile, or actually posting someone's picture in the news? (I'm guessing there would be copyright restrictions against that to begin with.)

Which leads to another curiosity - if you would really be harmed or compromised by your picture being made public, then... why on earth are you posting it on a public site that any of your neighbors, co-workers, clients or relatives can join anonymously at any time? Just sayin'.

My post was just saying and giving a one example scenario. The point being that IF a person wanted, they could take another's photo and use that photo in an attempt o get false ID...Yes there are people who are damn well paranoid and will take whatever measures they deem necessary to ensure they have as complete privacy as possible. All one has to do is use the search feature to find numerous threads about someone having their picture misappropriated and used in a fake profile scamming money. The odds are that it won't happen yet that possibility still exists.

Hell, a poster on this thread stated why they have that statement in their profile, "...most of us would prefer to not have our comments, profiles or pictures featured in studies, and particularly not in the mainstream media." If that is their wish then they have every right to make that statement.

eta: I wish to acknowledge that the above quite was courtesy of Llyren. Thank you.

I wonder how an injunction might be applied in this case?

Ladies it comes from profiles I have seen lately. I hope everyone is feeling good today by the way. Its a beautiful bright if chilly morning in Dublin. Anyway like I was saying I have been perusing some Female Dominant profiles lately. And in some of them there is legal warnings at the end of them. What gives Ladies? Why would any Lady have at the end of their profile you do not have permission to use any of my profile if you do you may be subject to legal ramifications. ? Why are some Ladies getting very legalistic all of sudden.? Is this not a social networking site not a judicial cross examination or sending out legal ramification warnings? What gives? Why would any Lady seeking a sub put this at the end of her profile? Is it a way of showing dominance and power? Is it the new fad? What gives Ladies. I would appreciate your views on this. Thanks
Kevin

It's just their way of letting everyone know that they are empty-headed, pretentious, trendy, and know nothing about law. The legal significance of such statements is zero.

What i mean by that is that the people who have legal disclaimers on their profiles are not taking any notice of this thread, and then they wonder why they attract no subs/Dommes to them, i feel sorry for them

Donnu why you chose that term, kevin. I've stated that I can't see it working in practice, and CelticSubM has stated that he doesn't see the law supporting that position anyway.

I see people who threaten legal action with no basis to be immature, especially over something trivial. I could also see them being paranoid, but "weird" is just an imprecise, odd word.

Yeah, I know. One of these days I'm gonna have to quit acting like an engineer all the time...

I doubt that they'd have a hope in hell of making one stick. I'd imagine that like a lot of similar sites anything you put on here isn't your intellectual property. Did anybody actually bother to read the legal disclaimer stuff while registering? Because I suspect that anybody who's bleating about people pinching details from their profile didn't...

I don't think they are weirdos. It's just a "Monkey see, monkey do" thing, like the people who circulate fake virus warnings, in the belief they are being helpful. Somebody originally posted that notice in the naive belief it would mean something. (Obviously, they hadn't read what everyone here does explicitly agree to in CM's Terms of Service, especially section 9.4.2) Others saw that, thought it looked cool, wanted to show they were in the know, so they followed the advice to add that notice to their own profile.

No that s not my point. My point is what is the need for legal warning notices on a social networking website regardless of position. If it was male subs i would be equally perturbed
Kevin

Read up and familiarize yourself with copyright laws and the internet. If a person uses another's profile as their own, technically that is a form of identity theft. That also applies to stolen profile photos and also applies to taking a section of someone's blog and passing it off as one's own or using it elsewhere without the original writer's explicit permission.

Try and go to the local cop shop and report you got you picture "stolen" on CM and see what they say. Of course you can lodge a civil suit for it. Lawyers here cost 400 $ /hour, and see how far that gets you with some twit sitting in Nigeria. I rather invest in Glenfiddich single malt. That gives 40 % everytime
