Does Taiwan have image rights?

Portrait rights, like an invisible shield, protect our dignity and privacy in the digital age. It is not only about the control of personal image, but also involves the maintenance of personal dignity. In this era of information explosion, a photo or a video can be quickly copied, distributed, or even distorted and used. The protection of portrait rights is precisely to prevent personal images from being used improperly and to safeguard personal rights and interests.

To discuss the legal basis of portrait rights, we must go back to the universal value of human rights. As a kind of personality right, portrait right originates from an individual's autonomy over his or her own image. Just like we have freedom of speech and bodily autonomy, we should also have control over our own image. The international trend is also gradually attaching importance to the protection of portrait rights. Many countries have enacted relevant laws to clearly regulate the scope and exercise of portrait rights. This is not only the protection of personal rights and interests, but also the maintenance of social order.

In Taiwan, although there are relevant laws and regulations regarding the protection of portrait rights, there are still many issues that need to be clarified. For example:

• Portrait rights in the digital era: How to effectively protect personal portrait rights and avoid improper use in the Internet age?
• Right of portrait in public places: Do portraits taken in public also require consent?
• Image rights for commercial use: How to obtain legal authorization for commercial use of a portrait?

Clarification of these issues requires the joint efforts of legislators and scholars in order to effectively protect portrait rights and align with internationaltrendConnect.

The future of portrait rights requires more active legislation and social consensus. Only through better laws and regulations can we effectively curb the inappropriate use of portraits and safeguard personal rights and interests.

Only in this way can we protect personal dignity and maintain the stability of social order in the digital era. This is not only the protection of personal rights and interests, but also the key to social progress.
