here in quebec we've had this court decision kinda fuck over everyone doing street. but it doesn't stop me from doing it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubry_v_%C3%89ditions_Vice-Versa_Incbasically it says the following:
>You can take photos of people in public places without their consent>if you use it commercially or editorially (this also applies to art.) you must have the persons consent. UNLESS it was taken at a newsworthy event (car crash, festival, farmers market)>The above is allowed if the person is part of a crowd or not the main subject of the photograph. The actual word used here is "incidental"So if I ever decide to publish my photos. I could risk getting sued if someone gets recognized. I'm actually hoping it happens some day so I can fight it and hopefully leave a positive precedent. Plus I think it's worth losing 2000$ over someones photo. if not just for the exposure.
Pic related is the photo in question.
