Speaking of "taking photos," anyone follow that Nestle Coffee court case? A model did a photo shoot in '86. In '02, he sees his picture on a coffee jar in the store, decides to sue Nestle for "unauthorized use" of his picture. Nestle offers $100,000 to settle, the model makes a counter offer of around 8 million. As of right now, the settlement is $15 million and change, pending appeal. Damn. The aspect of the case I wasn't clear on is: AFAIK, usually models sign a release that basically says the photographer can do what he wants with the pics. Are they entitled to additional compensation? Or did the original photographer not make sure a release was signed, or??? Best, James -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
