By Julius Miller, LA Times | A photographer and photo agency filed a lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez alleging copyright infringement after the actor and singer allegedly posted copyrighted photos of herself from a pre-Golden Globes party to social media.

In the complaint, filed Saturday in federal court, photographer Edwin Blanco accuses Lopez of posting photos of her arriving and departing from the January event on Instagram and X without permission. Backgrid USA, a news and photo agency, filed a twin suit related to the same photographs, which the company and Blanco co-own, according to court documents.

The photos, which as of Tuesday remained on her Instagram and X with no visible watermark, show her in white fur coat and slip dress, clutching a Chanel purse. The post on Instagram is captioned “Weekend Glamour.”

A representative for Lopez did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Tuesday.

[Apparently photos from personal Facebook pages that are not marked or credited in anyway are “not for use” unless (you) pay for them/the use. We think this needs to go to court to be decided and to set a precedent. I’ve uploaded my personal photos to group pages on Facebook and never expected payment – I just wanted people to see them!]
