If it was a cover story for a publicly sold magazine then what’s the big deal anyway? Is it only a sleazy photo if used for political purposes? or is the picture itself sleazy? Is it Ok to pose nude for money but not Ok to use that same ad in a political campaign?
I would advise any of my daughters against posing nude because I think that it devalues them as human beings and turns them into sex objects. Is it right for Cruz to exploit it politically. No, but was it a smart thing to do in the first place?
The photo is copyrighted. To use it for commercial purpose (not “fair use, educational, etc.” permission from the copyright holder must be attained. The PAC has assets, and can get their “assets” sued off for illegal use of copyrighted materials.
Yes, someone paid for use of the pics, and Trump has proof of who it was. He named the guilty party.
” Is it only a sleazy photo if used for political purposes? “
In a way, yes. When they added “or you could vote for Cruz.” That was sleazy. There were several super models in that feature. Kate Moss being the only one I recognize. Super models do that sort of thing to further their career, and to get a paycheck. It’s a lovely pic of a very beautiful woman. 16 years ago.
First, she wasn’t nude.
Second they weren’t married when the photo was taken.
And you don’t attack a man’s wife, they’ve been considered out of bounds.
sCruz knew the bottom was falling out about his sexual actions
