Response to Alison Chang's Stolen Image video

The video describes the story of how 16 year old Alison Chang's picture was taken at a church picnic and stolen for a Virgin Mobile add in Austrailia after her friend put the image on his online account on Flicker.  Not only was the image taken, the add also had captions that were almost offensive to the young girl.  Personally, I have mixed feelings for this case.  In one sense the fact that the picture was stolen and used in an add is a form of flattery, that her picture was well enough for advertising.  Although this may be true, the more heavy side of the debate is that the company did not have permission from Alison to use the image, especially when the phone company is making money off of the photo.  Becuase Alison is so young and the image contains some offensive phrases, it is Alison's right of privacy to fight back in this case.  Nowadays with how easily it is to access personal information on the internet people need to be careful of what they put up, and how open it is to the public.
