Ozzy Osbourne has been sued for copyright over social media posts with unlicensed photos of himself.
The lawsuit said, “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.”
Zlozower’s team tried to contact Ozzy multiple times, but he didn’t respond. Now, Zlozower has asked the court to step in due to the copyright violation. Ozzy has not responded yet.
