For using his picture on Duggar's AM and other online dating accounts. I just saw an interview with him on Access Hollywood. ROFLOL!  |

Wasn't it a stock photo? Don't you sign a release to give up your rights?
Not that I'm defending JD. Just wondering.

It comes up in a Google search, but that doesn't mean it is a stock photo that is free for public use. But even if it was a stock photo, Josh was using it and presenting it as a photo of himself. Now McCarthy says people are heckling him as Duggar. I find it all amusing, regardless of the outcome. |

I don't think it was a stock photo. Heard he lost some gigs (DJ) due to the publicity/confusion.

Can't say I blame him when he's getting hassled and losing work because of his photo being used in those circumstances by someone else!
Even if the Duggar family issued a public apology and settled out of court he would need to be given a very, very public apology and a very large amount to compensate for the fact that so many people would just skim over the statement in the media and still believe the original and it could quite possibly cause him harm into the future.

You do sign a release but the release indicates how the image can be used. I can't imagine someone would allow their image to be used as the identity of another person. |

Signing a release form for the photo doesn't give anyone the right to impersonate the person in the photo. Using someone else's photo as being you is an identity theft. A release form is given to the photographer to use the photo for his own use ie. for advertising etc in books, on the internet in photographic competitions or something similar. |

What I found hilarious is that in the interview he was heavier than in the photo I could barely tell it was him. He just wants some cash and fame.

I don't blame the guy for being upset. Who wants their career tied to that creep's name.

Poor Josh it just gets worse and worse. He really needs to be careful with his e-mail accounts( sarcasm!) LINK |

I seriously doubt this guy is losing work, he's going to be getting more gigs from this fame.

More gigs? Why would this make him more employable? I think people are on the 'stay away from anything tied to Duggar' train right now.

Whoever owns the copyright to the photo can sue for copyright infringement. The model can sue for infringing on his publicity rights, sometimes known as personality rights: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publicity_rights. |
