Actually in the states, its the responsibility of the copyright holder to enforce their own interests.
Of course. But it's also incumbent on everyone to respect other people's copyrights.
Also, if you are well known, you are a public figure and dont have any control over what pictures are taken of you and dont have much control over what people say about you.
I am not well known. But even if I were, that doesn't condone a breach of my copyright. And I'm not discussing what people might say about me - that's their intellectual propery. I'm talking about *my* intellectual property. If it's good enough for Micky Mouse, it's good enough for me.

Occasionally there is someone who you might be able to identify if you know who they are, but the pictures aren't sharp enough for the most part.I claim intellectual property in it, and they would have to negotiatea licence to use it or any deriative work based on it, such as a picture of me. This is an unreasonable claim. Nobody can take a picture of a public street you're in unless they have your permission?Sure they can. But it's their responsibilty to ensure that in doing so, they don't infringe anyone's copyright.Anf FWIW I suspect Microsoft has actually gotten permits of some kind with the local authorities for doing this.That might give them permission to photograph the things that the local authority owns the copyright to. But the local authority, cannot authorise a breach of my copyright. Hey - Microsoft is keen to enforce their own copyrights. I'm just asking them to respect mine. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
