Foto’s waarop personen geportretteerd zijn mogen niet gepubliceerd worden zonder voorafgaande toestemming.<BR/>Uitzondering: Foto’s gemaakt van publieke persoonlijkheden, op openbare plaatsen en bij actuele gebeurtenissen.']<BR/><BR/>English: permission is required to publish someone's personal photo. These restrictions do not apply for 'public personalities', for shots made at public gatherings or shots illustrating current events.<BR/><BR/>But still, it can be tricky if you look at all the details and exceptions. <BR/><BR/>In general, non-commercial low volume blogs published by non-professionals are hardly affected unless the subject really objects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-9658733427431340142008-04-21T10:44:00.000+02:002008-04-21T10:44:00.000+02:00More on the legal aspects here.
