In this age of digital media, it is easy to get confused about things like copyrights and rights to privacy.

In the space of one click your image became someone else's property, which they can post all over the web or turn into marketable merchandise without your consent. Or can they? Before you start cutting eye holes in paper bags, check out this article on The Rights of Publicity and Privacy.
