Rock star Ozzy Osbourne is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit from prolific photographer Neil Zlozower, who claims Osbourne illegally shared his images on social media platforms without permission or payment. Zlozower alleges that Osbourne posted numerous photos, including staged portraits with Zakk Wylde and a shot of Osbourne with Randy Rhoads, on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Zlozower's legal team asserts that Osbourne failed to respond to requests to remove the images, prompting legal action. This case highlights the ongoing debate about celebrity rights over photographs taken of them.
Ozzy Osbourne is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit after the rock star posted multiple images of himself on Instagram without the photographer’s permission.
Zlozower accuses the Black Sabbath frontman of posting his images of him on Facebook, Instagram, and X without seeking permission or paying the photographer a licensing fee. Zlozower’s legal team claims that Osbourne posted multiple photos, including five staged portraits of the singer with Zakk Wylde, his longtime guitarist, and another showing Osbourne onstage with Randy Rhoads, his guitarist from his first two solo albums, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1982.
Osborne is the latest celebrity to be taken to court by a photographer or photo agency over the misuse of intellectual property in recent months.
