Hi, > I could find them (emailed to me by the people or their relatives, > public Facebook profiles, Google searches for publicly available images, > public LinkedIn profiles, etc.) I know that there is a big difference between countries about privacy, fair use idea for managing image of people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use What should be used on internet ? Also, most part of people I know, use some simpson's characters or hide theirs faces. Maybe, they don't want to see theirs faces on my web site or other social networks. So I vote to hide pictures of living people ! The use of own image should still be a freedom, no ?
