Rawalex, elaborate a little more on how the models release is relevant?


The models release does nothing more than give the photographer the right to distribute, or resell, the photography.

I know one content provider that will debate this all day and never run out of breathe.

You can own as many photos as you want, but the copyright belongs to the photographer, and the right to distribute is owned by the model.

Reference the last widely known legal challenge reported in the media. The model portraying Juan Valdez. He was awarded a ton of money.

The models release is a document that allows the photographer to make money on his/her photography useing the models image. Nothing more. If content providers were smart, they would keep their models releases under lock and key.


But, it would be interesting to hear the debate on how it applies to 2257.
