The photo was taken by Alison's church youth counselor, Justin Ho-Wee Wong, who uploaded the image to Flickr under the Creative Commons license.<ref name="Cohen" /> In 2008, the case (concerning [[personality rights]] rather than copyright as such) was thrown out of a Texas court for lack of jurisdiction.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Evan Brown |date=January 22, 2009 |title=No personal jurisdiction over Australian defendant in Flickr right of publicity case |url=http://blog.internetcases.com/2009/01/22/no-personal-jurisdiction-over-australian-defendant-in-flickr-right-of-publicity-case/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713050011/http://blog.internetcases.com/2009/01/22/no-personal-jurisdiction-over-australian-defendant-in-flickr-right-of-publicity-case/ |archive-date=July 13, 2011 |access-date=September 25, 2010 |publisher=Internet Cases, a blog about law and technology}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=September 27, 2007 |title=Lawsuit Against Virgin Mobile and Creative Commons – FAQ |url=https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7680 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907054202/http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7680 |archive-date=September 7, 2011 |access-date=August 31, 2011 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
