I've ordered a copy. But I'd also like to hear from some publisher's in-house lawyers regarding this issue. I worked for Hearst Magazine Division in a previous life, and model releases were never a concern for them. My photos appeared primarily in /Popular Mechanics/. If fact, I have yet to find a publisher who requires a release. I currently shoot for Harris Publications. They're not exactly Hearst, but they do produce a large number of newsstand and subscription mags. I've never given this much thought, but I'm now anxious to learn more in that Elizabeth's experience is apparently different than mine. Perhaps I'll see if I can get in touch with someone at Hearst. I still have a few acquaintances there. Paul On Jan 20, 2011, at 9:49 AM, Mark Roberts wrote:
