Yes. If he used photos w/o permission or your signing a release form he can
be used. Can you prove those photos are from your farm? Did he walk onto
land to take photos? If so, then it's trespassing. Do you have
photographer's info? If person is a reporter w/paper you can contact them
for compensation or retraction. Inform them those photos were taken of your
property w/o permission and you want them retracted or you want
compensation.

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger
of state and corporate power - Benito Mussolini

Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] ummm question

First -- Sorry to cross post
But its busy season and I am searching for guidance and experience.

I am wondering about the rights of photos that people take of your
farm/animals/products. If someone is at your farm and takes photos do
they have to ask your permission if they publish them? If photos were
taken and no specific use was requested can those photos end up in a
newspaper article without your permission? This is about an
apprentice that left our farm and later used photos with animals
names, our products-"in production" and reference to a our goat farm
being in our town but never specifically stating our name.
I tell you it really bothered me and now I am annoyed-do I have any
say? Kim Roos
