A) Ok people, a little perspective on the question. Quoting from the article: "if you don't have ... permission from the people who appear in your photos, they can sue you for making such images public." So there is no PP (Picture Police) waiting for you to pull out your trusty Pentax before jumping on you. I don't see how sending a picture by e-mail is making it public and the chances of someone who cares finding it on your web site AND being interested in sueing is minimal. Remember that the original case came from a picture that was published on the front page of a magasine. Also from the article; "situations where such a permission is not mandatory is when the photo is of a crowd, if it's considered legitimate news or considered to be in the public interest." So street scenes can be shot and published without problems. Now that I have given part of the perspective (as I see it, from Montreal, by the way)... I agree that it is a problem, Montreal newspapers have developed a style of what I consider really ugly pictures, lots of shots where you can't see the faces of people and many shot at slow shutter speeds that blur anything that is moving (usually 2 legged things). I am less affected because I am into old industrial buildings and they tend to not give a damn!
