\n\tA paparazzo and photo agency have dropped lawsuits alleging Jennifer Lopez<\/a> infringed their copyrights by posting pictures of herself outside a Golden Globes pre-party to Instagram and X without paying to license the images.<\/p>\n

\n\tFederal court notices from Saturday (June 28) say photographer Edwin Blanco and agency BackGrid USA are voluntarily dismissing the pair of lawsuits they brought against Lopez<\/a> last month. These types of dismissals are often the result of settlements, though it\u2019s not clear whether the pop singer and actress paid to get the cases dropped.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWhy Can Miley Cyrus Be Sued for Posting a Photo of Herself to\u00a0Instagram?\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe lawsuits centered on two images of Lopez standing outside the Amazon MGM Studios x Vanity Fair Party at Los Angeles\u2019 swanky Bar Marmont the night before the Golden Globe Awards in January.<\/p>\n

\n\tA lawyer for Blanco and BackGrid, who own the photos, claimed Lopez posted them to both her Instagram<\/a> and X<\/a> pages on Jan. 5 without permission. This supposedly set off a spate of reposts from fan pages and fashion brands, including the designer of a faux fur coat Lopez was wearing in the pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlanco and BackGrid\u2019s attorney said he contacted Lopez\u2019s team about the alleged copyright infringement soon after these posts went up. They had \u201cfruitful discussions\u201d about a monetary settlement, the lawyer claimed, but failed to reach a deal before the lawsuit was filed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe legal complaint accused Lopez of willful infringement under the federal Copyright Act, carrying possible damages of up to $150,000 per photo.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tRobin Thicke Sued for Posting Paparazzi Photos of Himself to\u00a0Instagram\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe lawyer for Blanco and BackGrid and reps for Lopez did not immediately return requests for comment on Monday (June 30).<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s quite common for celebrities to be sued for posting paparazzi photos of themselves on social media. Major artists, including Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, have settled<\/a> similar lawsuits in the last few years, and Robin Thicke was sued for <\/a>the same thing earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Billboard<\/em> wrote in 2022<\/a>, U.S. copyright law is on the side of photographers and image licensers. Though it may seem odd, celebrities do not automatically co-own images of themselves and therefore don\u2019t have the right to repost them for free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
