Fair enough although that link isn't exactly one of Wikipedia's finest efforts. This link is more complete: https://asmp.org/tutorials/property-and-model-releases.html#...

It's generally pretty well established that a properly executed model release provides a pretty wide latitude of commercial usage--although one can always come up with corner cases, e.g. use of a photo in a context that implies the subject is a drug addict or something similar.

By contrast, there's very little legal precedent around the scope of property rights in commercial photography.




The analogous question is what rights you have to use a photo for which you don't have a model release, and that's where I think things are pretty fuzzy.
