Good point, You do have the right to say, take a picture of Paul Newman if
you encounter him walking on the beach. He doesn't have the right to punch
you in the nose, but he may.
If you take a short movie of him and enter it at Sundance maybe there is a
legal problem or maybe not.
Of course that is why celebrities avoid the public and tend to go to
certain places where that sort of situation is customarily avoided such as
Aspen.
