After reading the article about the lady who got her picture of her son placed in a magazine, I'm shocked. I had no idea that a company could take a picture of the Internet and put it in their magazine without contacting who they took it from. This definitely evades her privacy and I completely agree with her fight for some kind of compensation. In the US, I don't think this would be any different. The publisher would still need to contact her and compensate her for use of her photo. Just because it is online does not mean that it is public use, that lady owns the rights to the image.
