   I would say that any time you use a photo for commercial purposes the   
   subjects in it should have some share ofit. That's a little different   
   than random photos for your own use.

   Did they see the photos at the time or had you posetd them somewhere later?   
   Probably as you thought, there'd be very little monney to be made there   
   and you might just feel good that your photos were considered that good.

   I'm not sure if telling the truth about someone, and there's no question   
   it is true, would be 'defamation'..  Or at least shouldn't be IMHO..  B)   
      
   The definition online says defamation falls under two catagories, slander   
   and libel depending on if it is spoken or written, but they point out   
   that that refers to making FALSE statements..
