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.Permalink On twitter.com

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.Permalink On twitter.com

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!On twitter.com
