Asking legal advise on a photo forum is like asking lawyers how to take pictures.
Mike is spot on. There is a lot of noise and absolute crap on forums especially about legalities. People tend to parrot what they read someone else say who is repeating what the guy before him said and.... The fact is no one has a clue and 90% of internet myths are nothing more than an opinion and overwhelmingly, a completely wrong one.
There is a LOT made of Privacy on forums. Here in Oz, there is NO right of privacy but the Current affair Rabble rousing TV educated will argue that, or whatever else suits their agenda all day long. Completely incorrectly!
You need to KNOW fact from fiction as and where it applies to YOU and not what the situation for someone else, somewhere else may be.
This is a tough business within a tough business to start with so I hope you realise that there is no easy money to be made in stock. Although you might be looking at it as some pocket money, the responsibilities are the same whether it be part of full time and so will the costs be in getting proper legal advise. Being sued is a favourite and grossly overblown topic of the fearmongerers but in this case where it is highly likely any pic you sell may be used for promotional and widely seen purposes by potential a large company, it is a real risk if you do something wrong because you were working on flawed opinion or a set of rules that just don't exist or apply where you are.
If you potentially start playing with the big boys, you have to make sure you have your big boy pants on and have made yourself aware of the right rule book.
Part time for Tiddly wink money or full time to earn a fortune, part of the game is knowing the actual rules that apply because if you break them, you might just get sent off permanently.
If you can't afford it or the income from the idea is not there to pay for qualified answers, then just don't go there until you absoloutley know what you can and cannot do as it applies to YOU and YOUR situation.
