thanks for catching that dent. that's what I get for not proof-reading my posts.
To answer your question - if the site is linked or associated in any shape, form or manner to a commercial endeavour, whether it be another site, promotion of his site, sale of merchandise, or promotion of any other commercial entity (site, band, store, etc....), he CAN NOT use pictures of people or establishments without consent. There is a gray area where pics can be posted without formal consent if they were submitted by the persons in the pic. Its an assumed consent. But since Lent took the pictures himself, that clause goes right out the fuckin window.
