I will check the latest laws tomorrow and inform you all, but as I said to Nathan, I haven't delivered a consent to any magazine for the last 10 years and I haven't heard about any collegues doing anything similar. I do ask for consents when working fo commercial stuff. L'internet? Je ne sais pas... All the best from Paris!
