It is legal - this is effectively how Paparazzi photographers operate.
As long as the public has general access to the area, you are allowed to photograph anybody and sell those images. |
In reply to Message (68407) How are some sites legal? Commercial use of candids?
By Andrew - Wed 28/09/16 00:49:12 GMT No names, as they are run by the greats of wetlook who often reply here in a manner implying that they own the place, but, there are some sites which are blatently illegal by all laws (US, European, Russian...) - that's according to my knowledge from law school (EU common law specialization)
I am talking about commercially selling Russian, Ukrainian etc CANDID fountain clips
This is COMMERCIAL usage, unlike private albums
These are usually dubbed college girls, but are cleraly often not, some look way younger than 18!!!
I assume there are no relese forms (impossible to do with so many) and no parent release forms either
This seems totally illegal in every country
Yet, these sites exist in our community, use supposedly respectable payment processors etc
I really don't want to attack one of the greats of wetlook who has the largest store of such clips, but this just doesn't feel right. When I first saw the links I really had the urge to report them to the payment company and some cointries authorities (think minor protective services)
I know the owner of said store (as well as owners of the smaller ones) can be really harsh and impolite when asked hard questions (a late row with the forum admin for instance), but this has been bugging me for a long time and I really need an answer.
So please admins don't censor the post and let those people answer how are their businesses legal when they seem anything but.
It will make buying their products possible with a clear consious if they give proof of being legal
And probably not only for me, as quite a few people here have a problem with candids, even all candids, not just commercially used candids.
