It would help if your profile indicated what country you are in. The internet is international, but laws aren't.Interesting thread...something I have been wondering: my daughter competes in cheer ( what a money hungry racket that is!!!) and suddenly I am not allowed to photograph her at competitions. What!?!? I had been for years!!! But NOW they have a photographer come in and force me to buy her prints online. IF she gets a pic of my daughter and I'm sure it won't be in the middle of the cartwheel she mastered just before competition that I am soooo proud of. How can they ban me from photographing MY daughter and force me to pay them??? Oh I'm so frustrated! Is there any way around this?

Thank-you! Without a doubt one of the best posts ever made on this forum!As a professional, I respect what people say to me, if they don't want photos shot of them I won't do it. I was covering a tragic car accident years ago and was asked by the police if I was planning on shooting any pictures of the kids that died in the van, they burned to death, it was news and I was working for a newspaper. I respected the rights of these kids and their parents and friends, and didn't shoot any pictures. Being asked by the police had nothing to do with it, as I had already decided not to.
I have no time for the "professionals" that chase the rich and famous, they are the sleaze that bring photographers down, they don't have any respect for anyone, and are the first to scream about their rights as photographers. Half of them using iphones.
I take my profession seriously and respecting people is part of it.

If everyone share your views we wouldn't have photos as influential as this,
Along with many other images that people would consider tragic and possibly "wrong" to have been photographed.

Yes we would - the monk set out to set himself on fire as part of protest. It was a clear visual message being sent and is nothing at all similar to people being accidentally burned and killed in a car crash. Right or not is a question we each have to come to our own views upon, but I'd say - horrible as it is - that not photographing the monk would have been the greater wrong than to take the photo - taking and distributing the photo directly allowed his efforts to multiply.

I don't believe I asked anyone to share my views, I just stated my personal opinion. The photo of the monk is not the same as a photo of 5 dead children in the back of a van. There have been hundreds of photos shot over the decades similar to the image of the monk, and there will be hundreds more shot.
No the world is not full of rainbows and unicorns, just village idiots.
