Legal Question in Technology Law in Tennessee
Posting pictures on Internet
I have a website with various pictures of friends and their children. One friend has a daughter and his ex-wife has objected to her pictures being on the internet. She has threatened to file a complaint through her lawyer to force me to remove the pictures. Does she have a legitimate argument and am I violating any laws in which I could find myself in trouble?

Yes- invasion of privacy.Unless you have consent, you may not publish photos of persons on the Internet. You may be liable in tort for damages and perhaps attorneys fees.
