Alan is a photographer. He left a stack of flyers at the local coffeehouse. The flyers stated, "Will Photograph Anything. $20 per print. Call Alan at 555-5555." Which laws applies to any dispute that might arise between the photographer and a client/customer?
A: The question is somewhat general in natural and opens the door to many legal concepts, from protection of minors to intellectual property rights in images to privacy rights of subjects. Naturally, this wouldn't be a question from a contracts class in an academic setting, since students never resort to using legal Q & A forums for homework. But if you were looking to examine things on contract law-based principles, some of the concepts you could explore might include whether an advertisement is an offer, whether a contract was formed, was there a breach of contract, etc. Since there aren't too many specific facts here, the possibilities for discussion are almost endless. Good luck
