I Am Not Available!

A happily married straight woman says a photo taken of her for a salon she frequented was uploaded to a stock database and used in several unauthorized ways, such as an advertisement for Match.com's dating service and an article on coming out of the closet.

Pharmaceutical rep Anne Read Lattimore sued Savannah photographer Roger Kirby, his company Blue Water Productions, Match.com, online marketing company Nanigans and The HealthCentral Network in Chatham County Court.

Lattimore claims the defendants contributed "to the unauthorized use of her likeness in advertising depicting her either as a homosexual who has 'come out' of the closet on multiple occasions or as a participant in the online dating site Match.com."

She says her photo was downloaded from the website about 6,900 times between March 2008 and October 2010, when the website removed the photo at her request.
