*Far as I can tell it is ONLY ppl in the internet art community that act like this anyway. I often go on photography trips with my daughter. We have never once had a person tell us we could not take a picture of something if it was going to in any way whatsoever earn us money. I understand that there are some government buildings that have that type of restriction - but we all know how the government is. We have photographed, people, buildings, sculptures, gardens, a Buddhist temple being built - and when it was bombed.
I can't even begin to think of all the things OWNED by other people that were in those photos. Heck I just posted a photo yesterday of my view from my window. The photo contains 3 other peoples cars, and two other peoples houses.
Many of my daughters photos will go into a portfolio which will later be used to get her a job. Some of them have been published in yearbooks for her school. (Which charges money for the yearbooks).
I honestly don't feel that people have any room at all to limit the useage regarding commercial or non commercial images. If I buy a shirt can I take a picture of it???? The two have absolutely nothing in common. You build the model, it's your model - nobody is disagreeing. Nobody should sell your model - or distribute it in any tangible form - but a PICTURE of your model? Now thats just going kinda far. Too far imo.
