(In Japan, we will need permission, we must be claimed money for portrait right. Even if it is non-commercial case. anyway, in the court, photographers, don't get permission from a person on a photo, will not win. and I think photographers will settle a lawsuit out of law court. This story I've heard from a photographer of my friends) If you plan to use the pictures for commercial purposes you > must have a signed photo release from every recognizable subject. All right,thank you. If I get some offer from companies, I do so.(but I don't know when.) > > There are law-makers going crazy here trying to figure out how to > protect the privacy of people from cell phone cameras. :-) In Japan, some stupid people photograph gal's thighs by using cell phone cameras.
