Totally unnecessary in my opinion. If I took a pick of a family in a park and intended to use it for a class project, I would simply tell them. They might even enjoy receiving a mail with a link to it. Who knows? A serendipitous fruitful connection might be created. If I could take a similar pic of Madonna's, I assume she would not mind.

I think that our notion of privacy and safety are largely dependent on where we live and work. When I was in Toronto I dealt with many of the issues you speak of but now living in Bangkok these issues and concerns do not seem as important. Fear from all sides has much to do with it. It will be interesting to see how legislation and policy react and adjust to these changing times. Great questions!

Here is my understanding of the law from what he has explained. If you take a picture of someone out in public they can have no expectation of privacy, so you are not violating their privacy (legally speaking). However, if you were going to try to profit financially from that picture you would need the person to sign a release. I have the pleasure of having a family member who deals with these issues.
