Permission in writing

My son is the expert on this, but what I recall him saying is:

Unless local laws say different, the publication of a person's ""likeness"" is ok without permission if the reason for publishing it is for newsworthiness of a current and public nature. This comes from the ""fair use"" provisions of Copyright and Trademark laws - which are moderately international in scope due to treaties & the like.
