On February 25, 2025, @Drexel_Fisthand accused Jon Del Arroz of using a copyrighted headshot of Spanish teacher Anabel (from hispanishonline.com) as the profile picture for his pseudonymous X account, @DaniellaAcera, to promote his book, The Roles We Play. Del Arroz claimed that it was a stock photo; however, evidence indicates that it originates from Anabel’s business site rather than being a stock image. Anabel has also verified the misuse, and the unauthorized commercial use likely violates copyright law by failing to meet fair use criteria. Additionally, it may involve misrepresentation, leading some to suggest identity theft or defamation.
Evidence Supporting the Image’s Origin and Copyright Status To determine whether the image was copyrighted and sourced from Anabel’s business website instead of being a stock image, we reviewed the available evidence: 1. Website Presence: The image matches Anabel’s professional headshot featured on her “About Me” page (hispanishonline.com/about-me/), a standard element of business websites aimed at establishing professional identity. This page, which is part of her site offering private online Spanish lessons, was accessible as of May 2025, reinforcing its business context. 2. Copyright Status: Under U.S. copyright law, creative works like photographs are automatically copyrighted upon creation, even without an explicit copyright notice. Given the use of the image on Anabel’s business website, it is reasonable to conclude that it is copyrighted, either by Anabel or the photographer. This aligns with standard practices for professional headshots used in commercial contexts, such as online tutoring services. 3. Not a Stock Image: Del Arroz’s claim that the image was a stock photo was investigated through stock photo platforms like Shutterstock and Getty Images, which typically license images for public use. A reverse image search, as referenced in the original X post, linked the image directly to Anabel’s website, showing no evidence of its availability on stock photo sites. Moreover, stock images require licensing, and no such license was presented by Del Arroz, supporting the conclusion that it was not a stock image but rather taken from Anabel’s site. 4. Anabel’s Confirmation: Anabel’s reply on X (https://x.com/Drexel_Fisthand/status/1894415920883282296), in which she thanked Drexel_Fisthand and agreed to take further action, further corroborates that the image is hers, used without her consent, and associated with her professional identity rather than being a generic stock asset. |
