I hear ya! When something such as this has happened to me, I immediately contact the person and tell them to immediately delete my picture and or name or both. It is my picture and my name and unless my permission is given they have no right to publish either. Period.

I used to produce/direct media products (film, video, multimedia, electronic) and we always had to get a signed permission to publicly display a person's image and name. There is no reason on advent of the web that ANY of these legalities should change. People need to be made aware it is not only inappropriate, it is in many cases legally pursuable.Anyone who does not respect that privacy should be in for a rude awakening.

Wow..thanks so much. I feel validated now.

It felt like an invasion of privacy...and I had no choice, and for the first time, I had no control over pictures of me.
