Portrait copyright

When using images in which people are recognisably depicted, portrait copyright :

“The portrait right gives persons the right to object against publication of their portrait." [translation from dutch]
(Source: Wikipedia.nl, 13 april 2011)

This concerns all kinds of images: photos, drawings, paintings, videos etc. In other words, you must ask the depicted person permission before proceeding to use the image.
