Newspapers and the web is completely different things tho and im not up to speed on how that(newspapers)works in sweden since it doesnt affect my daily job." Sorry, this makes no sense at all. I do not believe that in Sweden or anywhere else there is one copyright law for newspapers and another one for websites. Copyright does not work like that. I think that what you are labouring under is something other than copyright. If you take a photo of someone in the street and then use as part of an advert for Pepsi or something, they might claim against you for misrepresentation or invasion of privacy or something, but not copyright.
