".... what permission do I need to take or publish a photograph. Rules vary by
country, but in the United States, as a rule of thumb, if you are taking a
photograph for editorial purposes, such as for a news paper, or to document a
story, you do not need releases. However, if the image is going to be used in
an advertisement, you have to have a signed release by everyone identifiable
in the photograph. Thus if you shoot the beginning of the Boston Marathon and
you get the opportunity to sell the shot to Nike for a shoe ad, every runner
you can see in the photo has to sign a release. The release for children is
similar to the one for adults, but it written so that an adult can sign for
the child. Any private property in the photograph must also be released for
commercial work....."
