The docs say that “Specifically, Lopez or someone acting on her behalf copied the Photograph and distributed it on Instagram, via the @jlo account, on a story posted November 7, 2017.”

The photo agency continued, “This is an action for copyright infringement brought by plaintiff, the holder of the copyright to the photograph described below, against defendant for use of plaintiff’s photograph without authorization or permission.”

The photo agency claimed in the docs that Lopez had been notified of her infringment in a letter to her representative date December 12, 2017.
