However, all this does is shift the legal responsiblity. It does not
necessarily make posting pictures of identifiable folks without their
permission legal. The rules for publication are the same whether it 
is the SCA or an individual. The big problem is that the Internet is 
progressing faster than our laws are. From one point of view, anything 
placed on the web is being published, whether it is placed there by an
organisation or an individual.

I don't believe legally it makes a difference when an individual
sues for slander (for instance) whether the offending material
originated from an organization or an individual.

However, it is less likely that an individual will get sued over
a posted picture than an organization.
