Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
use of a photo and slander
if someone posts a photo that they took off a website - a photo that belongs to us and we had only given written permission to the person that posted it on his website can we sue the person who took it and posted it elsewhere? also - if they say things that are not 100% true can they be sued for slander?

Yes, and yes. Moreover if you have copyrighted the photo you are in a far stronger position.
