It depends. If it was "J. Random Celebrity on stage at the XYZ street concert" you'd (probably) be fine. If, however, the only reason the item was saleable was because it contained an image of J. Random Celebrity (and the location was, for all practical purposes, irrelevant), it would be more likely that this would be viewed as infringing on the commercial rights of J. Random Celebrity. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
