allowing photos that people took themselves of things like the standee's
and other items that photographed regularly. This could include
poster. However, these pics must be taken by someone from within the
group so we have permission from the photographer. It seems silly to
allow photos of people standing arm around the standee at events and not
allow those same photos as research.... so we've equalized it. Fair
use allows use for study... and we're definitely doing that.
