Re: can i use people picture on site w/o their consent
You should not post anyone's picture without a release.
Using someone's image without their consent opens you up to civil penalties if they are somehow harmed [in the legal sense] and bring a case against you.
There are several people who have asked this question recently, and the answer is always the same: get a release.
Also, did you know that you can search answers in lawguru? From now on, I'm going to try to learn more about how the site works, so users can tap into the database of "over 60,000 questions."
I have to put in blanks after each period so the form wouldn't delete the web site address, so just copy and paste this address and take out the blanks...
