If Person #1 takes a picture of Person #2 (specifically a child), is Person #1 allowed to post the picture (or maybe Person #3 might post them) of Person #2 online without Person #2's consent?
Answer
You cannot post publicly a photo of a child or of a famous person without the consent of the child's parents or of the famous person.
If the photo is of an ordinary, non-famous adult, the answer to whether you can post without consent is a lot more gray, and there are lots and lots of questions that your intellectual property lawyer should ask you that this online venue does not permit to happen. If you'd like a consultation on this matter, please feel free to call my firm at 518-371-4599 to set up a telephone or Skype appointment.
