The Kardashian-Jenners are photographed A LOT. Whenever they step out of the house they are most likely getting photographed and followed by paparazzi.
Along with having their every move documented, their fame also means that there are countless fan accounts on social media dedicated to the famous family. Some accounts have millions of followers.
These accounts share photos Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner post along with those million of pap shots.
But now fan accounts are disappearing left and right because the paparazzi are getting them shut down. The reason why is because these accounts are posting and sharing their photos without pay for the rights to share those images.
Paparazzi photos are copyrighted so if you use them without properly crediting it’s illegal. Even though being a pap doesn’t seem like a glamorous job those photos are still their livelihood and their work. They make money selling those photos to photo agencies and by Instagram users going over them they get no money for their work.
Paparazzi and photo agencies are coming down hard on these fan accounts, resulting in accounts being suspended or shut down.
Now the Kardashians are getting involved in the drama and sticking up for their dedicated fans.
In a now deleted series of tweets, Khloe let her fans know how she really thinks of licensing photos of herself.
A fan asked Khloe is she was going to post her Versace look soon. She responded that she needs to pay for some pap shots beforehand.
“Yes!! I have to license some of the images first,” she posted. “A paparazzi sued me in the past for reposting an image of mYSELF. So now it just takes me a little longer because I have to go and license the images so they don’t get my 
MAKES NO SENSE.”
Then fans informed Khloe that fan accounts were getting shut down over illegal pap shots.
A Kardashian fan Twitter account, @kyliecosupdater, shared a list of all of the fan pages that have been shut down.
If you know anyone or you have lost a fan page the petition in their bio link is to help protect accounts from being deleted and hopefully get the accounts who have been deleted back – these are just some kardashian pages deleted pic.twitter.com/1KayTT0A8l

(@kyliecosupdater) Kim hopped in on the paparazzi drama. She tweeted that maybe her family will start their own paparazzi agency so fans can freely post whatever.
Copyright infringement is no joke. What do you think about the drama?
