Reuters Racy Miley Cyrus Picture is Legal

Reuters sold a Perez Hilton-like Miley Cyrus crotch shot pic... But they're not getting in trouble.

The news service snapped a shot of Cyrus' no-no while she was performing at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto. While the Perez picture landed him in hot water, Fox News reports that Reuters "stands to make a bundle on its shot."

"A Reuters representative said that the photo was 'sent only to print clients and was kept from transmission to online clients and culturally sensitive areas.' But FOXNews.com, an online client, was able to purchase and download the photo, and saw no usage restrictions at all on the photo."

Former Los Angeles sex crimes prosecutor Robin Sax said, "The picture is not prosecutable. It is a question of intent, and here the picture is taken on stage, in public, and its purpose is not child pornography. It was not intended to promote pornography.”

So let the Cyrus Jailbait World Tour continue!
