Stolen Photos of Pitt/Jolie Baby Shower

Brad Pitt, Angelina JolieLawyers for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sent an email to various media outlets, including TMZ, informing them that "a digital memory card containing a number of personal copyright protected photographs" of Brad, Angelina and their children have been stolen and offered for sale.
 
The photos, taken in Namibia, "include images from a private baby shower."
 
The email, written by a lawyer for the powerhouse law firm of Lavely & Singer, threatens that anyone who publishes the photos "will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief."

92. Angelina seems not like a MOTHER ,BUT A BABY COLLECTOR. What is her motivation? Its reported from africa that "zahara couldt stop crying"-i can see why,shes landed a troubled couple as her adoptive parents.I feel a bit sorry for those kids-including the newborn-as her mom gave no more than a few weeks before anouncing a new aquisition.Take care of the children you have and quit trying to appear saintly-shes unstable.and needs help.

93. I had a chance to download the photos at a site I belong to,and I chose not too.

No matter how rich and famous you are no one should have to go through the nonsense the Pitt-Jolie family go through.

I wish them all the best in dealing with the idiots of the world.

94. As protected as those people are, how would anyone get close enough to steal anything from them. They knew before they decided to become movie stars that if they made it in the big leagues, they would be constantly in the public eye. That's what they wanted and to pretend it's not exactly what they wanted is evidence of their great acting skills!! These famous people want to make all the money off the common man buying movie tickets and what-not, but when it comes to pictures the papparazzi take that they don't get $$ off of, they want to sue the reporters for letting us common folk see their pics.

95. First of all, you don't have to "file" a copyright. Anything you write, any of your own photos, etc. are your own copyrighted material.
Second, being in the public eye is one thing. There are limits, which ought to include robbery.

96. Isn't it the price you pay for fame?

After all didn't Angelina say herself "What we make is stupid".

98. I am so tired of hearing about these two. The media made their baby sound like the second coming of Christ! Who cares? The child was born out of wedlock, and is not a US citizen now. But I'm sure with their money it will be no problem to fix that. They're showing some example to their children as well as others. I'm disgusted with all of them, Brangelina, Tom and Katie and so on>>>

100. Everyone that has a nasty comment to make about Brad and Angelina needs to back off. Seems to me you guys are just mad because know one is huntting you down for a look at your kids. No bids for your baby pics either. None of you bad mouthers have the right to judge them for selling the photo's and giving to charity , infact the odds are you've probably done alot worse. Maybe you stole something or commited fraud.Either way who the %$## do you think you are anyway? That's whats wrong with this world today, there are always those few who belive they have the right to comment on other peoples lives because they lack there own and those are the same few who keep wars and conflict brewing because they lack the intelligence to recognize any persons good or even great deeds and generosities. Don't be a hatter because nobody knows you nor do they care. But everyone cares about baby Shiloh,and her family. So there!

102. Man what a bunch of bolonga, this people put them selfs out there now want to be left alone, but they keep doing stuff to be pulbished and want to be left alone. Putting your baby out there is you fault not ours you made them public when you sold their pictures, So dont be so concerned now that everyone got a little intrested in your children, Pit and angie are a bunch of losers trying to stay in the lime light, and milking it all they can, Get a life and move on who cares how many kids you adopt, Lots of people adopt kids every day nothing knew or wonderful about it they love children you do it to be in the public eye what fakes get a life.

103. I am so sick of seeing Angelina an d Pit.t. Who gives a damn. They did not even have the guts to have the baby in the USA. There are so many babys that need help right here where they made all that money. As far as I am concerned they could go away forever, and they are both losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

105. You do NOT have to "file" a copyright for your work (photos, writing, etc.) to be protected. Whoever took the photos is the legal copyright holder, period. If the copyright holder wants to sell them, that's their right, but they're legal to publish only if they agree to do so.
Further, as the lawyer's letter states, they were taken in private, with an expectation of privacy. Even celebrities (and more so their kids) get the right to that tiny bit of privacy, unlike what they're allowed once they walk out their own front doors...
