Here is a slight variation is the release needed only if the photographer makes a profit or if the photo is used in a commercial manner? The example I had in mind was lets say i take a picture, give it to the times or anyother paper, and they print it. Now i didn't make a profit as the paper didn't pay me but the paper did make a profit with the photo. If you really want to make it complicated what if the paper was a not for profit paper.
