Justin Bieber is no stranger to controversy, but this is a weird one.

The 25-year-old Canadian singer is being sued for posting a picture of himself. Sounds odd? Well, it is. A photographer Robert Barbera has taken the newly-wed pop star to court for copyright infringement, after Bieber uploaded a photo on Instagram.
