i thought that was already copyright law? isn't that why you can't photograph people without model release forms?
No, that's due to likeness rights and privacy concerns. Copyright protects creative expression and your face and body are not themselves creative expressions-- they just are. This is why you also don't get copyright protection over purely statistical data.
