Jennifer Lopez enfrenta una demanda por compartir en línea fotos de ella misma tomadas por paparazzi.

 Jennifer Lopez is facing copyright infringement lawsuits for allegedly posting two photos of herself taken by paparazzi outside a pre-Golden Globes party in January without paying for the license of the images. Lopez was the subject of two federal lawsuits filed on Saturday (May 17) by photographer Edwin Blanco and photo agency BackGrid USA. Both claim to co-own the two images of the singer and actress taken outside the Amazon MGM Studios x Vanity Fair Party at the exclusive Bar Marmont in Los Angeles on the eve of the awards ceremony on January 4. A lawyer representing Blanco and BackGrid alleges that Lopez posted the photos on her Instagram and X accounts on January 5 without permission. This allegedly sparked a series of reposts by fan pages and fashion brands, including the designer of the faux fur coat Lopez was wearing in the photos. “The unauthorized use of the images by Ms. Lopez has a commercial nature, with the purpose of self-promotion,” wrote lawyer Peter Perkowski. “For example, Ms. Lopez used the images to highlight the designer of her clothing and jewelry, taking advantage of the publicity of the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand associations.” According to the lawsuits, a representative from BackGrid and Blanco contacted Lopez’s team about the alleged copyright infringement the following week. Perkowski claims that both parties had “fruitful discussions” and reached a verbal monetary agreement, but that Lopez never signed a written agreement or paid the promised money. The lawsuits also point out that Lopez was previously sued in 2019 for posting an unauthorized paparazzi image of her and then-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez on her Instagram account. That case, also filed by Perkowski, was voluntarily dismissed in 2020. “This previous litigation put Ms. Lopez on notice about the legal requirements and potential consequences associated with using copyrighted images without proper authorization,” Perkowski continued. “Despite this, Ms. Lopez has continued to engage in similar conduct, demonstrating intentional disregard for BackGrid’s copyright by a pattern of behavior that undermines the rights of content creators.” BackGrid and Blanco accuse Lopez of willful infringement under the Federal Copyright Act, which could award them up to $150,000 in damages for each photo. Representatives for Lopez did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday (May 19). While it may seem strange, it is quite common for celebrities to be sued for posting photos of themselves taken by paparazzi on social media. Artists like Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, and Kim Kardashian have all faced similar lawsuits in the past. This trend highlights the importance of obtaining proper licenses and permissions for using copyrighted material, even if it is of oneself. Failure to do so can result in costly legal battles and damage to one’s reputation. It remains to be seen how Lopez will respond to these latest lawsuits and whether she will change her behavior in the future to avoid similar legal issues.
