Catholic publication Alive threatened with legal action over misuse of image

An award-winning Canadian photographer is threatening legal action against the Irish Catholic publication Alive after it used her images without her permission and to promote sentiments with which she “could not disagree more”.

Dina Goldstein said copyrighted images from her ‘Fallen Princesses’ series of photographs were reproduced on the cover and within the pages of the newspaper’s June edition.

The series depicts humanised Disney princesses in modern-day situations and envisions how their lives would play out if touched by problems such as poverty, obesity, cancer, and pollution.
