Looking for advice on what i need a release form for

[SIB]

I'm a little confused as to what i need a model release form for and what i can acceptably do without one. I appreciate if i'm taking pictures and then selling them i need a release form from the people in them but what about:

Taking pictures of an individual and publishing it on a website?

Using pictures taken at a sports event and then using those pictures in promotional posters for the sport?

Does it make a difference if it's a general action shot and not focused on an individual player?

The reason i'm asking is i play for a local floorball team and took some pics at one of our events recently. As floorball is a relatively unkown sport in this country we are looking to promote it and i've been asked if some of the images i've took could be used in a poster promtion locally to get more people interested. There's no comercial gain and i have very little doubt anyone in the pictures would complain but i want to keep myself right.

Also, would i need to block out peoples names on the backs of their shirts?

These are purely my opinion.

Taking pictures of an individual and publishing it on a website?

No, depending on where the image was taken, if it was somewhere the subject had a reasonable expectation of privacy and they see it then they might contact you.

Using pictures taken at a sports event and then using those pictures in promotional posters for the sport?

Possibly not legally required but would be a good idea to cover yourself.


Does it make a difference if it's a general action shot and not focused on an individual player?

Not if the subject(s) is identifiable
