Not really. The photographer took the photo the way any other photographer would — he/she held the camera, framed the shot, reacted to the lighting — even if the purpose of the image is lowbrow commercial, it’s still an image that was created by a person who is a photographer.

The photographers are 100% in the right here. They made the image, not KK... she’s just in it. People who are in images don’t own them because they’re in them. There are issues of privacy and use that complicate the issue for sure, but copyright protects the creators (photographers, artists, writers, etc).

I’m not even a super Beyonce fan, but golly gee the hate for her around her is crazy. She’s thirsty? Only $100,000? Not all altruistic? Y’all sound ridiculous. I don’t know if you had to scratch together money for college but I surely did. Let me tell you, any opportunity for free money via essay is good shit. Haters,…

Dear salty commenters: Lemonade was a work of art comprising music, visual art, and poetry. She is literally asking students pursuing creative arts education to do scholarly work. If you think Beyonce needs college essays to simply feel good about herself, that speaks volumes about your own desperation to hate her.

Ooooh. Sorry. Yes. Isn’t it weird how white people think POC cannot use apps?

The liberal pockets are pretty racist too, as I have learned by joining NextDoor.

I’m gonna be honest. I don’t hear it at ALL.

Considering IT IS STILL ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO ASSAULT ANYONE INSIDE this entire situation is a “solution” in search of a problem. I’m baffled that anyone who thinks that a rapist willing to ignore the already existing laws against rape and assault will somehow magically be repelled via forcefield from entering a women’s…

I always thought the point the movie made was that it WAS an unhealthy expression of love. Just like the unrequited giant-flashcards guy and the one who cheated on his wife. Sometimes love is messy and broken and not dealt with in the best way. She loved her brother (good) and was there for him (good) but also lost…

These are radical Christian terrorists and President trump won’t even mention the word. He won’t use the term ‘radical christian terrorism’. Now, to solve a problem, you have to be able to state what the problem is or at least say the name. President trump won’t say the name. But the name is there. It’s radical…

This is how you Make America Great Again, right?

as another commenter said, there’s a difference between reimbursing someone after the fact for their child care or just giving a subsidy up front to pay for it

There is no way I’m Googling “fingermouthing” at work.

I’d drop you a rope but we can’t risk anything coming up with you.

oh my god, someone help, I have fallen down a hole of narcissistic teen trends.

Why did I fucking try to google this? I have learned that selfie poses have FUCKING NAMES. Fingermouthing, T-rex, Grace Face. Fucking who’s to guess what the shit this pose is called.

I don’t know. Thinking another race’s culture is yours for the taking kind of implies that you think their people are beneath you.

She’s amazing. My child is hilarious about this right now. “Did I kick you when you were pregnant?” “Does it hurt for her to sing?” Me: Yes. And no. But I bet she has to pee.

She’s amazing. Because two babies and less room for her breathing and diaphragm but still singing well.
