[QUOTE=lucien;1543367]!A minor photographed without permission indeed,what if it was one of the children of one of out posters or guests...would they allow some a-hole to take pics of their child?..Nah.don't think so...QUOTE]

Actually in parts of Canada it would be illegal. Last year during the heat wave a friend of mine took his 2 yr old to a public park to play in a wading pool. A newspaper photographer took their picture but appraoched the father with a consent form to sign explaining that it would be illegal for the paper to publish the minor childs photograph without parental consent.

The Government Information Service (RVD) has won the case against magazine 'Nieuwe Revu' about photos of Princess Amalia playing hockey.

According to the judge, the magazine harmed the privacy of the princess. The judge things that the breach of privacy is mor eimportant than the 'news value' of the pictures. The fact that Amalia is still a minor also played an important part in the decision of the judge.

The magazine claims that it published the pictures to make a point: that the media code is not right in a democracy.
