[Leica] OT - Simple Question

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

No unless the waivers for the event specifically say so. That said  
you have the usual private and press uses open to you. So you can  
take my picture and display it with no problems. Hell you can even  
sell others display copies (i.e. art) -- good luck mind you as I have  
one ugly mug. But, without prior permission, you can't sell my image  
to MacD to promote burger sales (i.e. commerce) or, heaven help me,  
make it look like I was having an affair with Olivia de Havilland  
(slanderous and not ruddy likely my wife informs me).
