Ozzy Osbourne has been hit by an unlikely copyright infringement, having allegedly posted unlicensed photos of… himself. Billboard has reported that the Prince of Darkness is in hot water for publishing photographs of his own likeness on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (X), without obtaining permission, according to a legal representative for famed music photographer, Neil Zlozower (@neilzlozower).
The music publication’s website quoted the lawsuit: “The accounts are key components of defendant’s popular and lucrative commercial enterprise (...) Defendant has over 12 million followers on [Facebook], and over 6 million followers on [Instagram], and over 5 million followers on [X] — all of which are monetized and provide significant financial benefits to defendant.”
