I'm not a lawyer either, but I'm a journalist and a former NBC-TV technical director. The legal standard for news photography (absence of malice) is different from commercial photography (personal privacy). This link may help explain... http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#When_are_publicity_rights_relevant.3F When are publicity rights relevant? Publicity rights allow individuals to control how their voice, image or likeness is used for commercial purposes in public. These rights are relevant to any work that contains human subjects, such as photographs, audio or video interviews, plays, songs, and other spoken or visual content. When transmitting this sort of content, including the voices or images of anyone other than yourself, you may need to get permission from those individuals if you are using their voice or images for commercial purposes. This is a distinct and separate obligation from obtaining the copyright license, which only gives you a license from the author (or photographer) but not from the subjects. A Creative Commons license does not waive or otherwise affect the publicity rights of subjects.
