Sell these images to TVBS. You’ll make a fortune.
Now that everyone is all masked up, is it legal to make money on commercial photos taken of other people, without permission, now?
He’s the copyright owner.

I meant more towards the people in pictures that get shot and sold without giving permission. Aka The masked ones.
The person who takes the picture owns the copyright.
Yes, i know. Not my question haha.
Curious. Was it legal in taiwan pre mask as well?
yes. The mask is not the determining variable here.
Sorry, i think we may be confusing things. i mean is it legal for someone, say Drew, to sell photos of people without their permission for profit?
In other words, i dont consent to photos being taken of me. For some reason i had the idea that in taiwan it was fine unless for commercial purposes. Very much ignorant on this one.

You can’t deny consent in a public space.

Thats what i was wondering. Even for profit/business purposes? Can sogo fill their DM with public photos of people wlking down the street?
I believe so. Otherwise there’d be no news. No youtube videos etc…
Others can weigh in.

Lol who is making money?? I actually posted this in temp because I wanted to keep it lowkey and wondered if any other posters had encountered this accident or read about it in the news. The mods moved it to the open forum though.
Nah, not my style. Besides, I’m sure dozens of other motorists took pics. Just wondering if it popped up in the news.

Haha you just answered your own question.
No one is saying you are, just curious what the rules are, and marco made a funny that is the ideal example to raise said question 
dont worry, we arent recording you…
On that note, it seems pretty ironic there are rules against recordings of people and not photos haha.

If it’s editorial and news worthy it’s ok, but not for commercial use in ads.
