          hypirlink I had not! (Tangent: what a great freakin blog design) Yeah, I think they hit the exact same issue I did... which is: this is how licensing works for photographers & the photographer is within their rights to use as they have... but that the ethics of that process are not great.

        hypirlink The really core problem is that photography law, which from my time in journalism I am *very* familiar with, grants the license to whomever hits the button on the camera, but that assumes that the camera operator is both a collaborator and a good actor when often neither is true.

      hypirlink This is why revenge p*rn is such a problem and also why general modeling is a financially tough profession when it isn't outright abusive (and it is often outright abusive mentally, physically and sexually). The dynamics of capitalism enforce bad power dynamics and unethical acts

    hypirlink IMO: the right answer is always that the laws need to change so that photo subjects have a stake in their own photos along with a mechanism of control over those photos... but I do not see that happening very soon and also it opens doors to a lot of difficulties!

      hypirlink Like I said... the real irony is that, in theory at least, this might be one of the few things that NFTs could do really well in a way that no other system easily could... but creators mostly don't.
