If the pictures are used for commercial purposes, then I think the family should get something out…

Nowadays, if someone takes a photo of someone and profits from it, then the subject in the photo can take the photographer to court. Therefore, for the Lanier family, if they can prove their claim, then perhaps their ancestors’ photos will be returned to them, or if not Harvard may become their permanent home. Harvard making a profit from the displaying or any usage of these photos has irked the Lanier family. Should the family be privy to some of the profits and retroactively? Only time will tell in this court case.
