With all the hand-wringing over book covers and album covers and distributed pictures of living people, you'd think we'd hear about all these supposed lawsuits and costs and C&D's. And what we actually hear is complete silence.
What you actually have is silence as a result of people breaking their backs to intercept and deal with a fairly regular stream of legal demands (of varying levels of frivolousness) on a case-by-case basis. This quite often involves deleting stuff and going "sorry!"
This is the normal background churn, and you don't see it because it's discreet. So far, it has never got *worse* than that, which is what people are worried about.
