School's solicit parents permission to post photos of children on the internet all the time. Just recently students were suspended from a school for posting photos of students and teachers on MySpace without students and teachers permission. Because the students did not have parental permission, it could pose a liability issue.
My opinion is that parents should have the right to say if they do or do not want their children's photos posted on the internet. I, as a parent, do not post any photos of my children on the internet and I certainly do not give permission for my children's photos to be posted on the internet.
According to an article I read written by a copyright attorney it said "You may need permission to photograph people due to state laws giving individuals privacy and publicity rights."
"Commercial photographers avoid right of publicity/privacy lawsuits by obtaining photographic releases from people shown in their pictures."
Professional photographers obtain permission from their models. Why? Because people have the right not to have their photos posted on the internet.
What are your thoughts about photos being published online without ones knowledge or permission.

| This will be short and sweet,there is no way I would consider it ok to publish anyones picture on the internet without their permission and then it would have to be in writing and notarized!! Believe me there would be lawsuits piled on top of each other if I was to find out my childs picture had been posted.What gives anyone the right to do this? Theolinda |
