Gay Couple Sue Over Illegal Wedding Picture
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/030905wedPic.htm

(Washington) A gay couple from Portland, Oregon whose wedding picture was illegally used in an ad by a conservative group filed suit Wednesday in federal court in Washington, DC.

(snip)

The ad features two photos, one of a soldier and one with a picture of two men in tuxedos kissing. The picture of the solider has an X over it. The one of Raymen and Hansen has a checkmark. The ad has the caption "The real AARP agenda."

The ad was produced for USA Next by Mark Montini International, Montini is a GOP strategist and chief executive officer of CampaignSecrets.com.

(snip)

ABC news has linked some of the members of USA Next to the same people behind the controversial Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads that challenged the war record of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry. And, there have been unverified suggestions that Montini has links to Talon News the now defunct conservative online publication that employed J.D. Guckert the man who posed as a White House reporter while working as a male prostitute.

It's about time somebody went after these bastards!

3. I think they may have a case
It turns out they didn't have copyrights to the picture which they lifted from an Oregon paper.
