I think calling it porn is a lawyerly overreach. Sounds like he's mostly pissed off that he wasn't compensated for a deal he had no control over, and I might be too.

Just the other day I told my kid's preschool that I wasn't ok with them putting pics of my son of Facebook. They tried to dissuade my by saying that they'll have to put him aside or something when/if a photographer comes into the room. Whatever, fuck you. Kids have very little autonomy, so I think to the extent we can avoid making those sorts of choices for them, we should.

I think we can all agree this isn't porn, but I don't blame the dude for trying to get a piece of the action.
