Actually, whether it...Thanks for posting a comment. Actually, whether it is legally permissible to publish identifiable images of people at a private event without their permission is a gray area that hinges on the meaning of a "resonable expectation of privacy." Some people say that if the event is not on public property - a street or park - you need permission from each identifiable individual to publish the picture. Others say you can get away with more than that (though they are generally not lawyers). <br /><br />But the legality of posting pictures is beside the point. You started out by describing the situation that "we are close friends." I would not BE close friends with you if you posted pictures of me without getting my permission. (Or if I was and you did, I'd be sure to let you know I didn't like it.) Some people feel differently and would not mind. But that's the point: people vary, and relationships vary, and groups vary. Getting along with others is full of nuances and idiosyncracies, and I don't think social software has yet done a very good job of working with the realities of social life.Cynthia Kurtzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16185088323080774635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468631352102294695.post-75996291933991863822010-01-11T08:09:06.675-08:002010-01-11T08:09:06.675-08:00I couldn't more disagree with you.
Example : ...I couldn't more disagree with you.<br /><br />Example : <br /><br />- We are close friends<br />- You come to my place for a supper or whatever kind of get together event<br />- During the GT, I decide to take a pic of you.<br />- Have I got the right to do what ever I want to do with that picture?<br />- Unless you EXPLICITELY take the time to mention to me before I take the picture that you want this picture to stay secret, you DON'T have the right to keep me from having it made into a T-Shirt picture if I want to. Hey I could have one of my house's walls covered with it if I'd want to. <br />- "I" am the beholder so "I" am the one to decide who when where why and how people see it.<br /><br />I found it fun to have you at my place, I decided to let people know that I had a GT, I decided to let them know that you were part of it, so I decided to show them that pic. Where,s the friggin problem?<br /><br />Next time you come to a GT to my place, I'll ask you to come hooded so nobody recognises you in the pics that I'll take.<br /><br />Come on! Get serious!merlinregishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09542154550025542953noreply@blogger.com
