Thanks for your questions. We appreciate your desire to comply. I will try to answer them in order.

1. We received a specific complaint for an indiviudal image. However, in general it is a bad idea to use people's photos without their permission, even if we haven't gotten an actual complaint. Aside from any potential copyright issues, this can be a violation of privacy. We would advise you to get specific permission before you used anyone's image.

2. Privacy can be a slippery concept in the modern internet, and we don't have a specific definition of the type of info. A good rule of thumb is not to publish personally identifying information about anyone.

3. If they haven't complained, it could mean that they are OK with it, or that they never found out. Explicit permission is always the best idea.

4. and 5. Your best bet would be to remove any image of a private individual you haven't gotten explicit permission for.

6. I'm sorry, but I can't provide legal advice on compliance with Model Mayhem's Terms of Use. I cannot advise on the use of those images. Sorry.

Hope this helps,
