I'm not sure what part you are disagreeing with me on. If I take photographs of people in public, I am free to share those shots with the world. Selling those shots is another matter and I would need a model's release in some, but not all, circumstances.

As has been said many times in this post by myself and others, if you are in public, there is no expectation of privacy. Anyone can take a picture of you and post it on line.

One of the reasons I found my way back to City-Data is that I found someone had taken one of my photos I took of a model and superimposted her face over the model's face. She went on to say that she was wearing that same out fit that very day. (I love reverse Google Image searches.) Well, she was lying and once I posted in the same thread what she had done and offered undeniable proof, she stopped. I also found a local weekly newspaper had used one of my images illegally, Didn't have to go to court for that one, it was so easy to prove. Still got a new lens and took a trip on the check the cut me.
Basically, this has nothing to do with the bragging men here.

It's not illegal. And explain how I might get everyone's permission, for example, in tis shot --
I kind of have to agree with the woman being dumb for not recording vs just posting a picture.
Hell, I could post a picture of anyone and claim they said anything...without back-up, I'm hung out to dry.
She'll get eaten alive in a lawsuit.
That being said, I can't help but chuckle at the predicament these men find themselves in now.
Yep. A more Internet-savvy person would have recorded and posted it anonymously. There are ways to do both if you know what you're doing.

Can you imagine how much of the internet would have to come down if it were illegal to photograph someone in public without their permission? Bye-bye, peopleofwalmart.com! Most newspapers and magazines would have been out of business long ago, too, as would the paparazzi.
Aside from what this guy did, my BIGGEST pet peeve is people that don't understand social etiquette when it comes to their cameras/phones. You don't take someone's picture without their permission and post it online. I don't care what the person did...it was not her job to be the social police.
.
Times changed a long time ago when people had voice recorders, to cameras, now smart phones that do everything at once. These guys obviously didn't care too much about their conquests and didn't think it was that negative.
If you saw a crime unfold, a murder, hit and run, etc, its not someones obligation to record it? Sounds selfish to me.
Sorry, I was just saying maybe you should get permission before posting other people's images in order to be safe.
After my first boyfriend committed suicide, I posted my artwork of him on a grief support group website. Several months later, I found his photo landed on a tasteless site promotes suicide and self harm.
Needless to say, I was furious. When contacted, the owner of the site gave me the same excuse, "His photo belongs to the public domain, if you didn't want his image shared, you didn't want to post it in the first place."
Fine, I contacted my lawyer, the next day, the image was off the site.
Be careful, you are an artist, It is all i am saying.
