This is untrue, a least in the US. Publishing is perfectly legal, though commercial use[1] opens one up to potential suits. This usage is very clearly editorial. This guy is on solid legal ground. [1] Commercial use is a legally tested term, not a lay one. It does not mean "selling for money", but has more to do with implied endorsements. You cannot, for example, take a picture of someone and then sell it to Apple for use on a billboard, not without a release.
