Yes, that is my wife in the meme. The photo was taken in Texas. She found out about the meme from a friend.
It's not an ad it's a meme.She has to be PAID for using her face in the advertisement!!
This has nothing to do with Facebook. Anyone could easily copy your avatar (or a photo you posted on H&CL) and use it somewhere else.The reason I don't do Facebook!! At least it's just her face!!
It was quite a surprise.It's still shocking when you run across stuff like that!!
They needed a pretty face!!It was quite a surprise.
We are not the litigious type. It's not worth our time and money to sue someone who is not making any money off of our photo. The entity that did this is an administrator for a FB group called, "Florida Memes." We are not upset by this at all.If you get to the source of who used it, can't you sue them? It might be interesting to find out who did this and why and how they decided to use her photo.
This is why I have the avatar I have. The lady has a nice picture & that is the main reason she was picked.It's still shocking when you run across stuff like that!!

I'm not either, but it so common these days.We are not the litigious type. It's not worth our time and money to sue someone who is not making any money off of our photo. The entity that did this is an administrator for a FB group called, "Florida Memes." We are not upset by this at all.
Many people don't realize this and will post everything.Once on the net it is free & will never die!
Sue for what? Anything “seen” in public can be used publicly without permission.If you get to the source of who used it, can't you sue them? It might be interesting to find out who did this and why and how they decided to use her photo.
I agree.Sue for what? Anything “seen” in public can be used publicly without permission.
I went by what I was told, I will not need to read it, until I need to copy write something.Joel,

Ben, that used to be considered a poor mans patent.
a set of plans and a description of what the concept all in a registered mail to yourself.
Tesla showed in court that it wasn't necessary. He got the original patent on the radio with his hardware and notes. He proved that the radio used his parts and could not have been made without them.
