Breaking the law and breach of rights is only such when proven to be
such. The laws, at least here are written loosely enough for that to be
the case. One person may consider it a violation and the next person
may not.
My point in writing this is that to say flatly that 'he needs a release'
is wrong. By law he does not need a release.
I don't know how many t-shirts he's talking about. I think it would be
very very hard for someone to go to court and prove that they were
injured and their rights to privacy were violated by the the selling of
a handful of t-shirts for likely a negligible amount of money.
And my point was that having a model release would ensure that you were
neither breaking the law (if any), nor infringing the other party's rights.
I agree that the risks seem negligible, but that isn't a good reason to
break laws or upset people. There are plenty of other reasons, of course!
