Legality of Using People's faces

I was concerned about the legality of using people's faces (for real time digital projection, for instance) and so I contacted two former classmates at the UI law school and a friend from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a nonprofit legal group specializing in these issues). I am attaching their responses in "Comments" as I get them, in case anyone else is interested. Keep in mind: this is NOT legal advice, it's just thoughts from people who happen to be lawyers or involved in Intellectual Property law. They're not responsible if they're wrong.

Bottom Line: 2 out of 3 --> (probably) we can do whatever we want in the context of the art show, without prior approval, as long as we're not publicizing our information as fact/news. If someone wants us to take their image down, we probably should.

My EFF contact, in particular, thought we shouldn't worry about this AT ALL.
