I went on the website to review the pictures. SOMEBODY had to do the research.

If this woman took the pictures and sent them to her boyfriend then she would have a copyright complaint given she never gave permission to use the pictures elsewhere. She didn’t. Her boyfriend apparently too a lot of pictures of her. I may be wrong, but I don’t think she has a valid cause of action.

The legal issue isn’t so much copyright as it is invasion of privacy. The website can’t commercially exploit her image without her permission. Same reason Girls Gone Wild lost its case - they weren’t getting model releases from the girls.
