Details - published in a local magazine which led to public ridicule of the person involved.  And dont tell me she wasnt after money... she saw her photo in a profit driven publication (court statement reads that "722 copies [...] were sold") without permission and saw $$.  Please find something which actually shows that someone sued someone else for using a photo of them in an email or posting on a website such as renderosity - that is what we are dealing with here and that is what i asked to see... a person being sued on principle on an image used which has no connection with a profit/sales driven publication.

Taken from that article:

"Nowadays, he says, people whose image appears in a paper without their permission - even when it's an image of a crowd shot or news report - are calling up media outlets to complain, asking for a payoff. "It has become a cottage industry," says Bantey."

You know - i cant see that happening here (referring to rendo)... and cant see the basis behind the paranoia.

In every stone sleeps a crystal.

Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
