It's tricky shit. Reminds me of that pending lawsuit made by the managers of the Sear towers as to its image/likeness being used in advertising without their permission.

(Aug 1 07, 12:36)actually if you ever used rights manged or photographer, using images that being used commercial purposes, the owner of the building or people in the photographs must consent to it.
Like the London Eye, that is owned by British Airways. if you use a photo from a photographer or stock shop, (not personal shots) you must clear it with BA.
This is same as taking picutres of someone and using it. you are not allowed to do that. hence model release.
if everything was to be in public domain, i could take a picture of you use it for to sell products or service.
now if you are photographer for a magazine and your sole purpose use of that image is to show the picture it self and not selling the product or service, you are allowed to do so.
