John,
I don't see much about this subject beyond what I quoted already. The 4th (2010) edition may have more material on that. BTW, try from your university/college - it may have access to this e-book from campus/library: http://www.netlibrary.com/Reader/ - enter the book title to search > * Your use is for commercial purposes such as advertising or to sell a > product or service. My interpretation (and here is where I am not 100% sure, but suspect it's the case) is as follows. You cannot use that photo to advertise (or to sell) anything else, - e.g. any merchandise with that image would not be legal to sell without proper release (mugs, shirts, calendars, etc.). But I wonder if you can sell the photo itself - as a photo (as long as it was taken legally, - i.e. on a public property, in a public setting, etc.) ???! I suspect - not.... P. 11-5: there is a sub-section entitled: "c. Using Trademarks, Fictional Characters or Celebrities on Merchandise", but it only mentions the issues when a celebrity plays a fictional character. More over, it is not clear to me if a stand-alone photograph ("print") falls under "merchandise". Probably yes. At least, on p. 11-6, the book lists "some royalty estimates" for merchandise: >>>>> Greeting cards and gift wrap: 2%-5% Household (cups, sheets, towels): 3-8% Fabrics, apparel, decals, bumper stickers : 5-10% Posters and prints [!]: 10% or more. <<<<< (I don't know if prints means photo prints, or anything else.) Sorry, this may confuse you more then provide light.
