Also Hackernews has audiences from all over the globe.
Regarding the initial point I made. Even if the commenter didn't own the copyright, they absolutely would have an implicit license to have their father paint a picture of the photograph and wouldn't have needed to see the photographers permission.
Also every legal system looks at international laws to determine how a law is to be interpreted. There's a ton that goes into anything so take it all with a grain of salt but I'd be very very confident that should the photographer even have tried to claim damages or gotten any recourse legally in this instance they wouldn't have any legal footing to stand on.
