burntcopper...when you find out a photo of you as a kid is being used for pro-logging posters. From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
porphyre :I've just discovered that a photo of twelve year old me walking through the Endowment Lands with my little brother has been used as a life sized cross Canada promotional poster for a pro-logging coalition to promote logging of old-growth forests "by showing that second-growth forests can be enjoyed too".
no model release form from her parents, NOT LEGAL. That ain't a newsworthy image. they need permission.
course, they can tie it up in the courts until the advertising period is over, so best recourse would be bad press. And these days we have the interwebs. Who's with me on spreading this? I'll be checking back with her for updates.
In other news, Zorro's just posted closing notices for 14th March. Which means I need to book *soon*. Anyone else?
