Not if it's artistic or editorial use.

Why not? How is his "artistic use" any different than me shooting in my
studio? Those subject in my studio have actually agreed to being
photographed.

Pretty well any photo taken for any form of publication should have a
release.

Why? Henry's is private property, legally people that enter private
property has a reasonable expectation of privacy. If it was at a parade
down Yonge Street, it would be a public place.

It's not where the shot was taken, but what was done with the shot.

Maybe it's different there, but when I go out to a store I consider
myself to be out in public.

it may be private property but it's open to the public. there is no
expectation of privacy in a store, other than in the bathroom or
dressing room if it's a clothing store.

Just goes to show, there are plenty of people who'd like to deprive us
of our rights to take pictures of anything, or anybody they don't want
pictures of.

You're talking nonsense. From a practical standpoint, tens of
THOUSANDS of shots get taken at Henry's stores. There are many
private property venues where photography is expressly permitted.
Like the Eaton Centre.

I think the issue of consent is what the Courts would decide on. Plus
public place versus private property.

No Stores, malls etc are in law "private property" you are invited in as
a customer. This is why he had to ask permission, however he lied about
taking pictures. His intent was to install a remote app.
