I feel for the girl in this situation
About a year ago I went and had some professional photoes taken, these included a few nudes. Imagine how I felt when I went back a few weeks later to grab my prints and saw a poster sized print of me naked in their window facing the street.
They had not asked me if they could use the photo, was no contract they made me sign before I had the photoes taken so I hadn't agreed to let them use it. They just did.
I feel the situation with Alison is very similar, her permission was not sought before this photo was put onto the internet and under this license for use commercially. She would probably be more legally correct to sue the photographer rather then the company that has used her image. Though she probably won't seeing as he is a family friend of a fashion being her youth counsellor and all.
