If you are photographed, you own the copyright to that image unless you
agree otherwise with the photographer. Therefore the subject was within his
rights to ask for it to be deleted - or sue to have it subsequently removed
from any websites/magazines etc that it might appear in.


How can that be, in the case of a photo of two or more persons? How
about a photo of a street with dozens of people, some of whom are
clear enough to be recognised?
I *thought* copyright was in the photographer - but if that is
correct, why is it necessary for the photographee (yuk! - there must
be a better word) to sign a release if the photo is to be published?
