Hey Reader!
What if you used a photo of you to promote a concert—and you got sued?
That’s exactly what happened in a recent court case involving the late calypso icon Black Stalin. His widow was ordered to pay over $360,000 to a photographer for using an image without permission.
Yes, you read that right.
In Trinidad and Tobago, performers and creatives don’t automatically have legal control over photos taken of them. And many artists are still unaware of the laws that protect (or fail to protect) their image.
That’s why we wrote this important blog post:
