In a matter involving internet law, a photography studio was hired by a couple to take wedding pictures of the bride and groom pursuant to a contract.   When the studio posted on is website pictures of the bride, in her underwear, taken just prior to the wedding, the bride sued the studio for violation of privacy and civil rights laws.

The Court in Bostwick v. Christian Oth Inc., found that the terms of the contract between the parties allowed the studio to post all pictures taken of the bride and groom on its website.  There was no further consent required from the couple for the pictures to be posted. Additionally, the pictures were not deemed advertising and, even if they were, they would still allow them to be posted and the terms of the contract granted the studio the right to do so.
