Note that flickr only has Creative Commons and All Rights Reserved options Apparently it's possible to put "No known copyright restrictions", e.g. how the New York Public Library does it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nypl/4058784908/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/nypl/4058784908/ Anyway yes, use of photos like this runs afoul of a rather separate area of the law known as "personality rights". However to my knowledge these are enforced more lightly (and also less well known) in the US than in other countries --- e.g. in Korea, some photographers taking general street scene photographs in public places often get approached by people who end up in their shots and demand that the photos be deleted, get threatened with lawsuits, etc.
