That is the law of the land.

The film makers and photographers may not enter your home uninvited and photograph you. There you have your rights of privacy. In public, on public transportation you do not. I kinda like it that way.

There are trade offs that must be made in the name of personal freedom, and the trade off should always be on the side of the active participant. We are allowed to photograph persons in public and at public events.
F.Y.I. the other day as I approached a corner a man stood holding a sign reading: "By crossing this street you have agreeing to appear in a xxxx commercial and acknowledging your image may be used to sell xxxx, if you do not wish to accept these terms, please do not cross at this intersection" Not everyone crossed.
