"No contact metadata" will be mostly irrelevant in the next years, when computer vision along with some automated social engineered photo correlation will be able to cleanly identify individuals out of photos, linking to their social network profiles.
- icebraining 14y agoThe photographer holds the copyright, not the people depicted in the photos (except when they're the same person, obviously), so that wouldn't help a lot. Not to mention all the pictures that don't have anyone in them, of course.
- goldfeld 14y agoWait, it's one thing for someone to take photos of their friends and post to Facebook or Instagram. If anyone were to use them for profit however, do the people showing in the photos have no rights? I'd think that it's not actually as simple as you put it, but that the people appearing on the shot have no reasons normally to go after their rights, but in reality they usually didn't give written consent for being shot (I don't think posing for a photo qualifies as legal consent for the photo then to be used however the photographer wants, much less by third parties.)
- icebraining 14y agoWell, as I said, the people in the pictures don't have copyright. That said, they might have personality rights. These vary a lot between jurisdictions, even inside the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights
