Actually, that is true...I thought I implied as much when I said the site owners needed to obtain a release to use the pictures. I assume they are snapshots, not formal photographs. In your scenario, however, how is she going to get them to pay the bill? All that doesn't matter...the point is to get the pictures off the site. If the site owner won't take them down, then the host of the site will. THEY are aware of the legal ramifications, even tho the site owner and photographer aren't. Not that the courts would probably uphold a claim...but it isn't necessary. The host will do it. Been there, done that, and so have a lot of other people I know.
