I plan to release an online course for which clients will pay money. For this course, I purchased the rights to use photos that have subject releases. As part of the course, I also want to send those who purchase it a summary of each module. In these summaries, I plan to include screenshots of slides from the course. How far can I go with this? Can I send photos in these summaries? Photos that don't need subject releases? Photos that need subject releases?
Hey ****! In Washington, you can generally use photos with subject releases in your course and summaries as long as the usage aligns with the terms of the release.
- Photos with subject releases: Ensure that the release covers the intended use in summaries.
- Photos without subject releases: Avoid using these to prevent potential legal issues.
Is there a specific type of photo or use case you’re unsure about?

Is there a specific type of photo or use case you’re unsure about?
Is there any issue with the uses those receiving these photos with subject releases might put them to? Do I have to specify that they only use these for private use?
