hello, there is a web site (IMDB) that has my personal information..and pictures. I would like it deleted.

I would like it deleted because of (identity fraud and we think a stalker has been around our house).. also is it against copyright law to have pictures without permission?
Thanks

IMDb (The Internet Movie Database) is a compilation of information about the cast and crew of films and TV shows. IMDb claims claim that all content included on the imdb.com site "is the property of IMDb or its content suppliers," that the "compilation of all content on [the] site is the exclusive property of IMDb," and that all is "protected by United States and international copyright laws." Presumably, the information about you posted on the IMDb site (including pictures extracted from productions in which you have been involved) is publicly available, and the right to post the pictures has been granted to IMDb by the copyright owners. That said, if "personal identifying information" about you (as it may be defined by Washington law) is posted, you may have a right to have that taken down. You should consult with a Washington lawyer to determine your rights under Washington law.
