    if you went Out in public and paparazzi started haunting everyone out on the street, all the time, even though you are no-one famous.

    While this is true, it’s important to understand that you have already given that right by just being out in public. If you can be viewed by the eyes of people, in a public place, then they can photograph you.

    The difference is that if you can be obviously identified in the image and it is used commercially, you should be asked for a release or permission generally.

    It’s a grey area in the context of scraping for AI, not because permission hasn’t been given, but because the technology is new and the laws haven’t been written yet.

    The changes will happen but it takes time, particularly with a complex issue like this.
