Oh it’s photos of Ozzy taken by a professional photographer that were posted without the photographer’s permission.
Seriously this is open and shut. The photographer is in the right. The only reason there is a debate is because it’s Ozzy Osbourne.
Kinda makes you wonder, what the fuck kinda contract did they have that Ozzy doesn’t own the photos?
Ozzy Osbourne is still alive?! …we need an autopsy crew to just start following him around 24/7. Whatever trial-of-the-grass shit all those drugs did to his body, there’s some Witcher level mutagens going on here that we would do well to investigate when he finally does die.
it’s nit just the drugs. He’s also got Parkinsons and some other neurological desease, can’t recall which ottomh
So who owns the rights to yourself the photographer or yourself?
The photographer without fucking question owns the rights to the photo. It’s not about “rights to yourself,” it’s an artistic rendition of you.
The headline is bullshit. If somebody was paid to do work professionally then there is a contract that stipulated usage and clearly Ozzy violated the contract. Vice’s headline is bait-y nonsense and primes the reader to side with Ozzy in a shamefully flagrant way.
Ozzy as a musician should understand that when you create something it is your piece of art and you get to control how it is distributed. This shouldn’t be that complicated.
Edit: Ozzy didn’t just post some random ass photos. He posted someone else’s professional work without compensation or permission of any kind
“The accounts are key components of the defendant’s popular and lucrative commercial enterprise,” Zlozower’s lawsuit states. “Defendant has over 12 million followers on [Facebook], and over 6 million followers on [Instagram], and over 5 million followers on [X] — all of which are monetized and provide significant financial benefits to the defendant.”
Among the images are some of Ozzy standing with Zakk Wylde and hugging the late Randy Rhoads, who died in 1982.
What an unbelievable shit-heel.
I wish this cat killer and his piece of shit wife would just fuck off already
