Street photography and posting pics without consent.

[wunhunglo]

Just wondering what people think about having their picture put on the net without their consent. Obviously say when you're at an organised event it can't be helped but say a street photographer snapping shots of people going about their daily buisness.

How would you feel about it if twas you. Personally wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I'll take it you wouldn't be in favour of it then.

not really. if anything if you saw a picture of yourself and nobody had permission you automatically want to know why i think.

face book is bad enough.

Without consent it's invasion of privacy. Simple as.

It's perfectly legal.

I don't know the legality of it, but it's morally wrong. Even more so if they're making money off it.

As far as I know UV bud, once it's in a public place it's legal.
