Fair enough. At the same time, for a person to have "rights" to their image, they must be identifiable in the image. If their back is turned, no rights. If their face is blurry, no rights. It it's only the bottom half of them, no rights. Even then rights only, to the best of knowledge, extend to commercial use. Otherwise, in our litigious society, I'm sure more lawsuits over this would've taken place. Pictures at the beach, lawsuit! Pictures at the zoo, lawsuit! Pictures at a restaurant, lawsuit! It's virtually impossible in public settings to NOT get somebody else in one picture or another. If someone keeps taking picturs of YOUR kid only, or is there regularly, or looks particularly shady, then go over and say something. If the guy is there with photogrpahic equipment, a nice camera, takes a few pictures of something specific (playground equipment, the sports field, the tennis courts), then it's probably nothing... insurance photographer? News photographer? Who knows. Also, how do you stop perverts from taking pictures of your kids with camera phones at the bus stop? School playground during the day? I mean, the truly sick fucks will be much less obvious in most cases.
