The first amendment is a well good rule/law for me... I mean not me
personally, as I am not US citizen, but hmmm, well you surely understand
what I mean.
So, effectively, sand the awkward language I was stating the right thing.
It has to be determined (as in lawyer sense of the word) what is the
purpose of PPG. Because if it is to promote Pentax (which is pretty
logical thing, methinks) then indeed releases would be necessary as you
stated, Paul. And if my understanding is correct, PPG is an American
enterprise, thereby acting as per American law.

As far as I know we don't have a rule or law -- other than the first
amendment to the Constitution. -- that says you can take pictures of
people in public. But we have court precedents. You don't need model
releases for pictures or people taken in public unless they're used
for profit in a promotion of some sort. The people who manage the
Pentax Gallery seem to have a rather limited understanding of both
legal requirements and the methodology of digital photography. In
determining whether a pic is appropriate for submission, I think it's
best to let common sense prevail. Paul On Jan 18, 2011, at 4:22 AM,

Don't you have a rule/law in your country whereas if you take a
picture of a person in public and don't use it for
profit/publicity/etc then you /don't need/ to have a written
release therefrom?
I've a pic in there that shows faces... No problems this far.
