My image / Your image.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

A fellow YFer found a picture of me on an agency website.  Taken at a Newcastle match last season.
They are offering the image for sale. (As if anyone will buy it.)

Anyone know what the position is for things like this? What rights do I have? What rights do they, the picture agency, have?

I think copyright is the photographer's so they can do what they like.
 
 
....wasn't lifted from a police CCTV tape was it?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

For a single pose like that i think you have to give permission. for a group photo I think it's waved. I could be wrong, best ask a magazine type editor. Good photo too!

Doesn't matter how many people are in the photo LG, as long as the photo is TAKEN from a public place its allowed.

You were in a public place, photographer doesn't have to get permission, its the reason why celebrities can have pictures taken of them on a road and nothing can be done about it

The rule in NZ is even worse (I dont know about the states) where as long as the person TAKING the photo is in a public place it's allowed.

Yeah, the law is changing in that area. Will be interesting to see how it develops as it is largely judge driven

Correct, just imagine the photographer was a paparazzi and you were a celebrity (not a long bow to take I'm sure) and then wonder why your picture was allowed in Woman's Day.  For better or worse thats the privacy laws that we have in New Zealand

The NZ law is quite liberal on this.  Though like using similar company names, the onus is on the injured party to object. i.e. the photographer was interfering your watching of the game.
At the other extreme, the Belgians have a peeping tom law, where you can't take a picture of someone inside their property without their permission.  So celeb shots from a helicopter or through their window or simply in their garden is an offence.  Similiar with the French, which is why you can get away with affairs more easily over there.

If you are not happy, we should organise a protest

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Protest? Organise? Chants, noise, and the people on the footpath who shout out "get a job"...
