RIHANNA SUES TOPSHOP FOR $5MILLION FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF IMAGE ON T-SHIRTS.





Topshop has been sued for using Rihanna’s image on it’s brand t-shirts without authorization. A photographer sold Rihanna’s image to the top retail store in the UK and it was used on t-shirts and made available for sales to the public. When pop star singer, Rihanna found out, she told the brand store to stop selling them and tried to negotiate a resolution with them.

Topshop however blew her off and she decided to sue. It should be known that in UK, they don’t have a ‘Right of Publicity Law’ unlike USA. Over the years, photographers have sued Rihanna for copyright infringement of their photos in her artistic work? Now it Rihanna’s turn.

What do you think about this?
