They need to compensate her because she and all the others like her are a huge part of their slimy and sleazy success. Profits are being made off of THEIR bodies.
I agree.

If I were more bored than I am, I would research the law on this issue, but I'll save that for another day. It just doesn't seem right to me. The company really seems to be saying that anyone can use pictures of anyone else (taken in public) for whatever they want. So I guess someone could take a picture of you walking down the street and display it around the world. That's just creepy.

This seems to be just another example of society telling a woman that "she asked for it."
