"How is it in US law (and keep in mind, U.S. it have provisions in the world, even if it is legal, or you not in decades) is the creator of an image of the copyright holder."

"The phone was an absolute nightmare to use."

He's like the Samsung phone won't work as the HTC incredible and is frustrated at a loss by his life of the battery and intransigence. Yup, sounds familiar.
