I am confused about model releases. I have numerous photos of famous musicians performing. I cannot imageine that one must get model releases for them. Perhaps if tied to a product. But I would think other uses are just fine, no? And if so, how can I submit here without a release?
Similar for deceased persons. No way to get a release so what can be done?
Thanks for clarifying these things for me.

Adobe does not accept editorial-style images that include people. The distinction that needs to be made is that Adobe accepts only "Illustrative Editorial", not truly Editorial images. I think other agencies, including Getty Images, accept truly Editorial images which include people, because I see their tag line often in news articles.
The requirement for Model Releases is not an Adobe Stock policy; it's a legal requirement. People need to provide their explicit approval for their images to be used commercially. Thus, you'll encounter the model release requirement at every stock agency.
