    From my non-lawyer understanding, copyrights on a photo reside with the creator of the photo, however, the person who is in the photo would have some ownership of their likeness kind of like a trademark where you would have to argue for rights to the use of it.

    So basically the only people who could really claim anything would be the owners of the security cam for that pic that everyone has latched onto.
