Really? Who holds the copyright on such a pic? If you argue for no contract then the situation is easy to deal with. The person who took the picture holds the copyright thus the camera owner can't upload to wikipedia and any such image should be deleted. However in your email dated 2 Mar 2008 08:14 you described such deletions as "ridiculous behaviour" which means you must think there is some form of valid implied contract in such an action. Perhaps there is as I said I don't know but it is an issue of contract law.

As I said no established case law. That doesn't mean there isn't law in this area just makes it hard to be sure what it is.

There is no contract without consideration. If a stranger took the picture out of a sense of friendliness there is perhaps a gift, but no contract. The situation may be different if you bought him a drink in exchange for taking your picture.
