Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

public photography / sale

If I have taken pictures of people in

public, what are the laws regarding

those images?

Ideally and to the point: if I take a

picture of someone, can I then offer

to sell them that picture, i.e. via

internet? (like they do with athletes

at marathons, families at theme

parks, etc.)

Re: public photography / sale

Selling it to the person depicted in the photo IS legal. Selling it to others is probably not. (see my response to the other posting of the same questions)
