Misogyny does plague that industry but that wasn't it. That was a woman who is passive-aggressive with an ax to grind. Seriously, be a big girl and approach the guys. Tell them what your gripe is and squash it. People really need to shut off their computers if that is how they conduct themselves on social media. It's like when the lovely idiots from the other side come and complain about fakes and scammers.

I thought I was pretty clear in my opinion of the morron in question. I think she got pretty much what she deserved.

A trial and conviction by internet star chamber?

It is illegal under california law (sadly not federal) to take someone's picture and post it without their consent, it specifically was meant for cases like this, this was not on the street, it was a private facility. She now is subject to both criminal and civil penalties for what she did.

Not utterly ridiculous, that is the law. She used their image without their permission and there are laws on the books about this. Paparazzi can take pictures of celebrities and publish them, because they are generally taken in public settings, but doing what she did was illegal, it was in several of the articles I read on the case. People don't have the right to use pictures of you without your permission, it is why, for example, when you go to events and they take pictures that they wish to put on their website and such (like at a charity event), they have to get a release from the people, that it is okay to use them. When you go to a ballgame, as part of the ticket agreement, they can take your picture and use it in publicity in such, because you agree to that as part of the terms of the ticket.

*Selling* someone's image may or may not require a model release, but nobody is going to jail just for taking pictures of people at a gathering (even on private property), and putting them up on the internet.

You really think her company and her customers deserved the cyber attack they went through and were blackmailed into firing her?

I have no love lost for Mz Richards but people are OK with that?

Not to mention that she's apparently gotten a ton of death threats over it. I mean, keep things in perspective, people. She screwed up, and there are and should be consequences for that, but DDoSing her employer and making personal death threats are a way over-the-top overreaction.
