right, and for the most part that's fine too. i am not going to bother about my face showing up in your family album, whether you asked me or not. if you had asked, i'd probably have said yes anyways. however, the point of the law is that anyone downloading your album and exploiting it in some form is violating my rights just as much as you did if you didn't ask, and even more so if they make money off it, or defame my person, and so the law gives me the right to not only ask you to take the photo down, but sue those exploiters for damages. i am not going to sue you, because you didn't profit from the image. yours was an innocent mistake, and simply taking down the image will be enough for you. but if you had the legal right to take and publish my face without my permission, then i would not have the law on my side to stop anyone who is actively exploiting that.
