Something I have been wondering...what about when they sell something to advertise and there is a person in that photo without a model release or property without a property release? What are the legal ramifications of that?
Yeah, me too. I stopped posting any decent photos on facebook a year ago at least (arguable, depending on if anything I'd ever posted before counted as 'decent'). But now I don't at all. I went on a Buck's trip a few weeks ago, I took all the photos I'd scanned and processed, I uploaded them to my smugmug, and sent the link to everybody. And on the rare occasion I do post straight to FB, I put a nice fat watermark on it, I don't care if my friends think i'm a wanker for it.

And that second question really depends on your local laws, and by local that could be where you live, where the model lives, where the photo was taken, where the photo is hosted, the location of whoever steals it. In short it just gets messy.
