Another post about embedding photos using Instagram's API! 

As we have written about here and here, in April and June of this year, two judges sitting in the Southern District of New York issued conflicting decisions interpreting Instagram's Terms of Use (TOU) and platform policies. The cases presented an identical fact pattern: a professional photographer posts an image on her public Instagram account: an online publication, without permission from the photographer, uses instagram's API to display the photo within an article; the unhappy photographer sues for copyright infringement; and the news organization moves to dismiss, arguing that the use was fully licensed based on instagram's TOU and policies.
