"People can in most cases take a photo of pretty much everything and use that photo for textures or the photo itself because its theirs, but one cant for one example take a photo of a location with other humans in the photograph and then publish the photo unless you have a written agreement from everyone in the photo." Sorry, but this is absurd. Look at the latest issue of your local newspaper. Do you imagine for one moment that the newspaper obtained written permission from every person that appears in every photo? I have heard it said that certain buildings (I think only in the US) have restrictions alleged on the publishing of images of them. If this is legally supported, it is very bad law. Unfortunately bad laws sometimes get passed, especially in areas related to copyright and IPR. I have heard that some congressman has introduced a bill that would make fast-forwarding through the ads on a video a criminal offence.
