-------------------------------
Enforcement of the copyright LAW will prevent you from displaying photos
in
anyway deemed inappropriate by the venue. That does not mean only in
cases
of selling the photos for a profit. If they don't want the photos
displayed, and you don't have signed release forms, you are in violation
of
LAW. As for the taking of the photos in the first place, I believe (but
could be wrong) that it is also a violation of LAW if the prohibition of
photography is clearly stated (at least, it is in the U.S.). Also, there
are plenty of privacy laws -- the two are not mutually exclusive.
