A friend of mine was once stopped in the street by a guy with a camera while wandering in Glasgow on his day off, and had his photo taken.

About 3 years later it appeared in some newspaper, illustrating a story about people skiving off of work (I think - it was something derogatory, anyway).

When he talked to the people at the newspaper he was told they'd bought the image from an image archive, and that he had no rights.

This seemed somewhat odd to me...
