Why Did Kendall Jenner Get Sued For Using a Video of Herself?

Model Kendall Jenner is being sued for copyright infringement for posting a video of herself on Instagram. The video was taken by a third-party and posted to Instagram, in breach of copyright law. After gaining almost 23 million views, the owner of the video now wants up to $150,000 in damages. The lawsuit says Jenner’s infringement wasn’t accidental, it was “willful, intentional, and purposeful” and in disregard of copyright holder Angela Ma. Ma says she has registered the video with the Copyright Office.
