I think a mother can assume consent on her son's part to pass around some baby pictures. I think you'll find there is a concept of "implied consent" when it comes to copyright.

But there you go dragging the discussion back to copyright again, whereas I've made clear the question for me comes back to one of property rights and etiquette.

I think what a mother and son do in the context of their family is a bit of a stretch when the discussion started in terms of a person using someone else's photos for his own benefit without permission from the owner.

If my mother borrowed my lawnmower when I was away, her chances of presuming my consent would be a lot different than if you did the same thing.

You who quoted Ted Nugent. I think we all know what good ole Ted would do to someone who violated HIS copyright!
