Response to The in's 'n out's of street photography from those who know!

I should have added:

There is, apparently, no right to privacy per se in Britain, so the rules here may be more lax than elsewhere. (This may change in the near future then the European Convention on Human Rights is incorporated into English (British?) law.)

I'm not aware of any high-profile court cases. However, there is a trend that celebrities are attempting to copyright their likeness. I think we got that idea from your side of the pond. Also, there was talk about copyrighting the likeness of buildings (e.g. The Dome). I'm not sure what the current status is, but I think that they are both un-proven, at least.

Seriously: talk to somebody local who is a professional in law.
