I certainly understand the necessity for acquiring permission from the
photographer, but is it really necessary to get a waiver from everyone
who appears in a picture? What about photos of people at museum events?
How would you even begin to identify and contact people after the event?
I can't believe that newspapers, for example, do this. Exactly what are
the legal risks?

copyright and legal issues:
1) If you are going to be showing pictures of people, make sure that
you
have a waiver signed by all parties involved, everyone in the picture,
as
well a the photographer.  Make sure that you stipulate clearly that
the
images will be used in the web.  Also, if you are going to use pictures
of
people under 18, you should get waivers from their parents.
