This won't fly at all. You always own the rights to your own image. If it's in public or something it can be used under 'Fair Use'. However, once someone starts using your image in a commercial enterprise without your okey-dokey, they are so screwed.

A friend of mine wound up in a book, unnamed, about 10 years after he dated someone who became famous and wrote about how his mistreatment of her caused her to have an epiphany about turning her attention to acting and getting serious about her craft. The things she relayed in the book about him, the cruel things he said and even once pushing her, were unknown to his friends but, honestly, we wouldn't put it past him.

After a few months of him venting and stomping all over about it, someone said to him: if you don't want to end up in someone's book looking like a jerk, here's an idea: don't act like a jerk!

Similarly, if you don't want pictures of you passed out on the couch with no clothes on posted on the internets, don't pass out on the couch with no clothes on!

Aw, the site isn't working. How am I going to laugh at others' shame and humiliation now to distract me from my own?

You can, however, file a claim in small claims court, which costs almost nothing and will net you $5,000. Especially because I almost guarantee the guys who run this site won't even show up to court.

I give this site a year max before it collapses under the weight of litigation.
