Sarah Palin, Political Committee Sued Over Use of 9/11 Photo
By Patricia Hurtado, September 13, 2013

Sarah Palin and her political action committee SarahPAC were sued by a newspaper publisher over the use of a photo of firefighters raising the U.S. flag at the World Trade Center site after the Sept. 11 attacks.

North Jersey Media Group Inc., publisher of The Record and Herald News daily newspapers, accused the 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate and her political action committee of using the photograph without permission in a complaint filed today in federal court in Manhattan.

The picture is of three firefighters, covered in soot, hoisting the flag while standing amid the ruins of the World Trade Center the day of the attacks and taken by a photographer working for North Jersey Media Group, according to the lawsuit. Copies of the image are posted on Palin’s Facebook page and her political action committee page, www.sarahpac.com, according to the complaint.

The publisher, which alleges copyright infringement, seeks a court order barring Palin and SarahPAC from using the image.

SarahPAC representatives didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the lawsuit.

The photo was taken by Record photographer Thomas E. Franklin. The U.S. Postal Service in 2002 issued a stamp called “Heroes” with the image.

The case is North Jersey Media Group Inc. v. SarahPAC, 13-cv-06494, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Its not as if Palin doesn't know what or why copyrighting exists - she very publicly copyrighted her own name and likeness in 2011.

She knew EXACTLY what she was doing when she had her SarahPAC logo printed on those photos, and she chose to do it anyway:

REMEMBER: she protected HER name / and HER image so others couldn't profit from HER likeness. .. but feels free to steal from others. Ain't that a hoot?
