*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.

Heh... you may want to read this:

ANYBODY doing professional photography learns and knows the concept of model and property releases like they were scriptures to a priest... And if the wrong person (or people) discovers that you used their likeness or recognizable property in a commercial product w/o a signed release from them? You may as well hand over your house and bank account to 'em, unless you can come up with a very obvious exception (there are a few... journalism being among them).

So no, it isn't just an Internet thing. :)
