I can imagine if a number of LUGgers become involved that we may just create something of value which may find some wider audience. Releases, when possible, are always a good idea. Circumstances and ultimate use dictate the "need" for releases. I'm not attorney - but my understanding is: for news, editorial and fine art use - releases, in most cases, are not required for publication. At the point that images are used to sell goods and services - releases are required. Those who know more and better - please correct us here.
