Dua Lipa Sued for Putting Paparazzi Photo of Herself on Instagram
10th July 2021
Dua Lipa is being sued after allegedly putting a paparazzi photo of herself on Instagram.
According to US court documents, the star was snapped queuing at an airport in February 2019 and later shared the shot with her fans “without permission or authorisation”.
Integral Images says Lipa profited from the photo, as her Instagram feed acts as a marketing tool for her music.
It is seeking $150,000 (£108,000) damages and has asked for a jury trial.
This demonstrates the Kafkaesque quality of current ‘intellectual property’ laws. Somebody takes a picture of YOU in a public place WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION and then sues YOU for using the photo.
