[QUOTE="Glassman, post: 39354, member: 4184"] Pete while the photographer may own the photographs, and I don't understand why he would use or keep photos such as the one in question. Their is still the pesky issue of the subject being a minor and thus the parents are responsible for her actions. Thus legally for him to release such photos for commercial purposes requires parental consent. Thus begs the question why did the parents consent to this? While we all agree that the photo is of poor taste. Many questions still exist. Who actually chose the photograph for release? If the parents consented to the release why is the photographer left to blame? And do any of these actions equate to illegal activity? Generally speaking it would be a stretch to say this photograph fits the laws definition of child pornography. And as I said again legalities and ethics are two different topics that need to handled by different entities. [/QUOTE]
