Legal Question in Technology Law in Virginia
unauthorized use of pictures I took
my daughters have taken dance for
many years and over the years I
have taken many pictures of them
and the other students at their
previous dance studio which i often
shared with friends and the dance
studio. the studio is now using some
of my pictures for advertising and
display purposes in brochures, on
web sites and in the studio. can they
do this without my permission?

Re: unauthorized use of pictures I took
Quite probably (assuming that none of these pictures are protected by copyright, and because of your previous sharing are effectively considered in the public domain).
