Answer 1

No, it is defamation, and copyright infringement of your photos. You can notify the website administrator that you are the owner of the copyright and that you insist they immediately remove the infringing photos.  They have a week or so in which to respond, after which they are subject to federal charges for criminal copyright infringement for profit.

Answer 2

Ouch I don't know - I'd call a lawyer.

Answer 3

lot of this is new and law has not caught up. if they cant do that, what r u going to?

Answer 4

I really wouldn't worry about it...I'd never even heard of that site before, so I doubt that anyone will come across it, lol...

Besides, I don't see anyone fat or ugly in that picture! LOL.

But you may want to figure out which of your "friends" did this....
