Is it legal to post pictures from an official movie website onto a blog?

February 17, 2010 // Posted in Law & Ethics (Tags: , , , ) |  1 Comment


I’m writing a story about the Dark Knight for a marketing agency’s blog and need to find out if I can use pictures directly from the Dark Knight website.

For my own site I wouldn’t care, but they are worried about legal issues.

How do internet companies such as Google get our medical records?

Google will be providing access to medical records but how do they get access to them in the first place? Does anyone have any links explaining this?

Does the government have the right to order private internet companies to provide user’s search records?

Lately both Yahoo and Google where served a court ordered to hand over to the government some search records regarding porn
The difference here is that the government is asking a third party to show your own records.
It is not the same case when they come and ask you personal info that you hold.
When I put my data in a third party, I trust that it is well guarded. When someone can get access to my stored record, it might cause me not to use that place again. In this case, Yahoo and Google might suffer user lost because it might seems as they have betrayed them by failing to protect their data.

I would be using Outlook, not a giant bulk mailing system, do I have to have an opt out link? Is it legal to send these emails in the first place? My service is aimed at a certain business sector and is a no cost program…
