I have a question though: what about publishing portraits (made by me, of course) that have been taken without signing a model release?
I usually post these images on my social media (FB, Instagram), and no one ever complained, also because the photographs were made with the approval of the subject.
However, if I post them on Steemit, it looks like that I would be liable of commercial exploiting other peoples' images.
In this case, would it be acceptable to post them using the "Decline Payout" option?
I know that it is, in my case, extremely unlikely that anyone can sue me for posting a picture of them; however I find it disrespectful, since there was no prior agreement. Maybe I should start asking for model releases in the future...
What do you think?
