well i don't see many legal issues
i can see some ethical concerns
but uh legally depending on
how the pictures were taken and what
kind of permission it was
to take the pictures like i gather they
were taken
in a private home so if it was
in a public place or on campus in a
public
center or something at the university it
would be
easier but as long as the person taking
the photographs
was there with permission and people
knew
he was taking or she was taking
photographs
then that's one legal barrier across
and in terms of republishing the
photographs the copyright belongs to the
person
taking the photographer not to the
subjects of them
so they don't really have any rights if
you were trying to
use the photographs for some commercial
purpose
then you would be wise to obtain
permission
for that use obviously
you could run into defamation problems
if you tried to suggest that the
photographs depicted something that
in fact they didn't in other words if
you said
you know these students knew they were
going to a party they were
told to dress in a racist fashion
they knew this was going to be a
political statement
then you're conveying a whole level of
meaning to what you're publishing
that might not be there might not be
true
it's not true well is it defamatory does
it harm these
kids reputations if they're identifiable
from the photographs that's kind of
put down
