What I was objecting to was your much broader statement... the one I quoted:
•*Charity is a full out go
This is definitely not the case and I will continue trying to correct the record as long as people keep posting inaccurate and incorrect theories about what they think the law is.
An apology is a good start towards soothing ruffled feathers when you use someone's property without their permission. Unfortunately, some people don't have the grace to even offer an apology for their transgressions.

Let's say you ask a group of people for photo's of their cars and their permission to use them in a book you are doing for charity. Someone sends you a photo's, as if they are theirs but it is really someone else's photo.
At that point, that is a fraudulent move on the part of the sender! And if the trail of the photo was trackable, the court would not hold the book maker (who got permisssion from the "owner") responsible.
At that point you would expect the person who received the photo to be responsible?? I think that person retracting the photo for you IS the apology. If they gave you a hard time and decided to use it and was later proved wrong, then they should apologize.
Life is too short to create such BS aggravation. Sh!t happens, let it go and move on. When you allow anger over petty crap to fester, with the intention of making others hurt, it will come back to you. Karma is a bitch.
That is my
opinion of the situation, and nobody has to like or agree with it, I am not a lawyer. It would be nice to END THE DRAMA.
