I really can't figure out the difference between your example about
personality rights and my previous, so I don't see why you're saying
that the above approch could not work, but IANAL.
As I said above I think this restrinction on commercial use of the
images imposed by IOC is not about copyright but is on a different
level and AFAICT is very similar to the case of personality rights to
some extent. So may you clarify?
There is a contractual arrangement between the IOC and the photographer as
specified in terms and conditions on the ticket. If some one makes photos
available commercially then they may be sued by the IOC under the terms of that
contract. The issue isn't about copyright but about the contractual agreement
and personal liability between the photographer and the IOC.
Copyrights wouldn't apply because you own the copyrights in the pictures
you take.
Athletes in the performance of their sport are public figures so the
personality rights are more limited. This may be more of a concern in
selecting which pictures to publish, and avoiding anything indiscrete.
The enforceability of those lengthy so-called contractual terms may be
unrealistic. I do understand that there may be some justification in
section 19.2.3 for a ban on refrigerators.
