|summary=BACKGROUND

An Australian mobile company used a CC-By licensed Flickr photo of a young girl as part of its advertising campaign launched in 2007. In September 2007, Plaintiffs brought suit against the mobile company under a number of causes of action, including invasion of privacy, copyright violation and breach of contract. They also brought suit against Creative Commons for negligently failing to warn creators that the CC licenses only address copyright and not privacy and publicity rights.

RESULT
