Ah yes, but Garth, who does such a wonderful job of providing the
gallery, would rather that permission be obtained so I am respecting
his wishes.
"If the pictures you have taken are of people, either indicate to us
that the picture is truly public-domain, or that you have permission
from the model(s) to release their pictures."
I think the Net is making such issues quite complicated. Does Irish
law apply - where I and the subject reside - or does Canadian law
hold sway given that the Gallery is based there?
Anyway, the Irish seem to have adopted the letiginous nature of the
USA and I am not sure what the position is with regard to copyright
here so I don't think I want to take a risk unless I am certain of
what the position is with regard to Irish law.
