i don't know if its changed since i took photography at college but if the picture is to be published you neet the model release as well, and all that you needed the persons name and you had to tell them that this picture was going to get printed in the school paper in our case or be used in a class at school and that they were okay with that
now in the digital age places like forums, flickr, would count as being "published" and pics with people in them really should have model releases as well
