Hi guys,

What’s the rule for posting photos on a website with famous people in them.

A member of our website sent in a photo of her with a famous celebrity - Are we allowed to post it, or do we need to get the famous persons’ permission (He’s a v. famous politician)

Don’t want to wake up one morning with the FBI pointing a gun at me!!! 🙂

Cheers
