Right now I'm looking at the instructions for a pediatric otoscope, showing how to use it on an infant, who probably didn't consent to this use of his photo.
There are literally billions of photos of infants and young children used in instruction manuals, text books, advertising, and as stock photos.
Should all of these be made illegal? Should manufacturers and advertisers be sued for using these photos without the subjects' consent?
- ramraj07 5y agoI mean why not? Seems like a fairly small price to pay, ask them to draw it out.
- nate_meurer 5y agoSmall price? Are we talking about the same thing? There are many millions of infants and small children that have appeared in photos and film. How much compensation do you think each should be awarded? How much might that add up to? Going forward, do you propose we ban all infants and small children in movies and photographs? Do I need to apologize for letting my kids watch Look Who's Talking because its main characters were infants?
