In this article, a woman who is a current yahoo user claims that her photograph was used in a welcome email for new users to yahoo. She claims that this picture was used with out her permission and is a violation of her rights.
After reading this article I have many questions. How did Yahoo obtain the photograph? Being a Yahoo account holder myself, I know that Yahoo is more than just a site used for email. There is also a Yahoo photos section which this woman could have loaded her picture to. What is in the user agreement when she signed up for her account with Yahoo? Does it give Yahoo explicit rights to photographs uploaded onto their website? Did she sign up for her Yahoo account before or after picture uploading was added to the service? If so her user agreement didn't include the rights to her photos. It will be interesting to see where this case goes.
