All I'm saying is that if we choose to distribute a picture of a person
without
any written consent from that person and if that person changes his/her mind
at any time after we've released it, it could go bad as suddenly that
person's
face is on millions of computers and I guess it would be hard to explain to
any legal body how did it end up there when the person is saying he/she
does not/did not want to be there.

I just think it doesn't seem worthy to get ourselves into potential
problems like
this. Stay safe. That is all.

Cheers
