There is a thread over at Shutterstock talking about how much people have made off a homeless model.  My personal feeling is that you should not be promoting how much money you've made simply because you've convinced a desperate, homeless person, who is starving for booze and/or food, to bow to your photographic and financial needs. Is this a keep it on the low low, or does it mean crap to you once they sign the form?

Well personally, I think I'd feel compelled to give the guy all my earnings from shots of him.  My conscience couldn't cope with making my fortune out of his misfortune.  But that's just me...
