i happen to be in the possesion of a (phone) video which shows some random university slut shagging a wine bottle like kinga did infront of a load of people.

what i want to know is can i register a URL and host this video for everyone else to see without any legal back fire?

well she didnt copyright the material. i possess my own phone and the video file is contained on it and sent via blue tooth from someone who was there when this drunken slut went out of control.

if you cant see her face, then the video is the property of the recorder, thats how it works for TV stuff

if you and a witness (friend) say she said you could put it up you can .. by the time she gets it taken down ... id have watched it so its all good ... edit her face on the video if in doubt. put a hitler tash on her ! no one will recognise her then

Seen that on a work collegues phone. Girl is blonde right? Was told it was a barmaid in a local bar, must say the resemblance to said barmaid is uncanny, almost everyone in the bar was talking about it. Maybe it's the same girl, where is this Uni?

You should be OK provided she's of adult age, was not coerced into doing it, you've not added defamatory comments, and if its sexually explicit, stick a pre-warning up beforehand. If in doubt, don't post it.

oh god, its not me is it?

[edit] ignore this, it couldnt have been me.............




think i'd just have to say, if she's your friend would you be ok with posting this, i mean would it embarrass and upset her? cos if she'd have a laugh and go "aw man was I hammered that night, wooo lookit me go!" then i'd say its ok, if she's likely to run off and take a bath with a toaster i'd say maybe don't?

i dunno up to you, i would say go with your conscience but when jimminey cricket jumped on your shoulder you zapped him with RAID and smoked his corpse.

As someone has mentioned the person who actually did the filming owns the copyright to the movie. It's a bit sketchy as to whether you need permission from the girl in question, as by letting herself be filmed (assuming she knew it was being filmed) she kinda gives up anyrights she had...i think.

The person who did the film does indeed own copyright in the material, so technically you could sue if a third party ripped off your recording and passed it off as theirs. However, you should be more concerned with the risk of a private or public criminal prosecution, or the risk of a civil litigation than your spurious intellectual property rights.

At the end of the day ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Assuming she has not given her permission she could accuse you of Defamation for spreading this. Its the same thing as the cases where boyfriends have filmed themselves and their girlfriends having sex without the girl knowing about it, and then spread it on the net etc.
She most likely did not intend for her actions to be seen by anyone outside of that room and she is in her fullest right to expect them not to be. Getting drunk and doing sexually explicit things with a bottle in front of people is all well and good (assuming she wasnt actually druged and coerced into doing it), thats her choise, but getting it spread to third parties is not.

This is the kind of thing that might well destroy someones life, making her go into depression, even suicide etc.

That you and others even contemplate spreading it in the first place says alot about your morals.

I would say if you ride a wine bottle in front of a room full of people and let someone film it your kinda of asking for it, the only objection I have is calling her a slut for doing it.

btw, someone send me the vid ;)
