Could they have been talking about US here?

... Take the Web phenomenon known as "Moshzilla." Earlier this year, 19-year-old student Alex Stram took his new digital camera to a San Diego hardcore rock show, snapped a slew of pictures and posted them to his online photo gallery. One funny but arguably less-than-flattering picture of a young woman moshing sparked the imaginations of viewers, who Photoshopped the mosher into a range of poses, including dancing in an iPod ad, walking on the moon, and duking it out in the boxing ring with Homer Simpson. Creative, to be sure. But some images were less innocuous, depicting the girl, for example, in sexually compromising positions.

Within a few weeks, the photos had spread to multiple message boards, some of which were attracting a quarter of a million hits and 30 responses a page.

"I thought it was all in good clean fun," Stram told CNET News.com. "I didn't post a picture with any malicious intent."

The girl dubbed Moshzilla, apparently, wasn't too thrilled. "Some of the pictures that were Photoshopped were amazing; some were pretty malicious and cruel," she said in an interview on Moshzilla.com, a site that was set up by a mosher other than Stram as a tribute to the phenomenon. "So even though some of those pictures I laughed at hysterically with my boyfriend, you can't help but realize that you are being humiliated across the country. In a nutshell, I feel sh***y."

A message on Moshzilla.com says the site has been taken down at the request of the 17-year-old girl in the picture and a threat of a lawsuit from her parents. Stram, for his part, hasn't been contacted by lawyers, but he has taken down the more explicit Moshzilla pics from his site. "I did try to censor," he said. "I didn't want it to get out of hand."

It comes down to context
Five months after posting the original shot, Stram still finds Photoshopped images of the girl in his in-box. And he's still amazed that a random picture he took at a Righteous Jams concert has spawned an Internet craze. The irony of Moshzilla's reported distress, he said, is that a friend of his whose picture is posted in the same gallery would love nothing more than to be Internet-infamous. "We were like, 'If my picture was all over the Internet, I would be proud of it,'" Stram said.

One has to wonder (about anything in that article and A-S)

Nope Don't remember and this is a silly thing to worry about.

No, it's a funny thing to recall ...
I think so anyway ...

This was all over A-S for a while ...
In fact, I'm pretty sure WE did most of the PhotoChopping in question ...
(not me, I apparently have always lacked that fundamental life-skill) ...

Not sure what you'd sue over.

Photography in public is generally legal - you don't need the subject's consent - and then the photographer holds the copyright. This is also generally true of private property, unless otherwise posted or the owner asks you not to take pictures. And even at that, the owner can say "no photography" but if I'm taking a picture from a public street they can't do anything about it legally.

I thought of that too ...
Back then though, this was before Hunter Moore and the "Is Anyone Up" days ....
I'm pretty sure there's laws now that didn't exist before (at that time, anyway) about using a person's image ....
... and whatever "damages" they deem fit as a result (public domain, private "copyright", outright "copyright", or other)
