Newsweek Settles a Copyright Dispute Over Instagram Embedding
Newsweek LLC and photographer Elliot McGucken have settled a copyright dispute over the magazine’s use of an Instagram post featuring one of McGucken’s images without his permission, according to filings in Manhattan federal court.
The parties told the court Wednesday that they had resolved the case. A lawyer for Newsweek said Thursday that the settlement’s details were confidential.
The copyright lawsuit is one of several to hit U.S. courts in recent years over third-party websites’ embedding of posts with copyrighted material from Instagram and other social media sites, including a case that other photographers brought against Instagram in California.
