If a person can be recognized then you have to have a release, but that is very broad. What isn't broad is that the photographer automatically has copyright on the image unless he signs it away. All I was saying is that "photo/scan by" doesn't work if the image is not yours and you don't have a release by the photographer. But hey, if everything is all your's then you've nothing to worry about. I said in the original post I didn't read everything. If I wanted to read, I'd pick up a book, I come here to look at pretty girls. Sorry for bringing it up.
