IPNews® – A celebrity photo agency accused Buzzfeed Inc. in Los Angeles federal court last week of publishing photos of superstar pop singer Katy Perry in a bikini and comedian and actress Kathy Griffin dancing topless outdoors to its popular news website in violation of the agency’s copyright.
Despite having no license or authorization, Buzzfeed posted the photos to its popular news website, garnering millions of page views, and is thereby liable for infringement, Mavrix Photo Inc. says.
