I started an adult website with my girlfriend with her as the main
model. I own the website, but we have now broken up. Does she have a
legal right to prevent me from using pictures of her on the Internet
website? Thanks

Hi, 

Without going too far into this, and without any real detail here in
the question; Since you are asking I'm going to guess that you don't
have any contracts with her or a release to use her image. If you did
then you wouldn't be asking. Since you don't have a release to use her
image then she has the right to say you can no longer use it, and this
doesn't matter if she is nude or not. Any use of someone's image is a
"release" type deal. That she has given you permission to use it in
the past doesn't automatically consent to the use of her image in the
future, unless otherwise stipulated by written contract and release.

C. Public Figures are not Public Property: Many people assume that
public figures are public property, but this is not the case.
1. Advertising; Commercial Use - not okay: You absolutely cannot use
anyone's image, celebrity or not, for any advertisement or endorsement
without permission.
