RE: filmscanners: OT more copyright questions



Of course, it all depends on a number of factors.  The only universal
statment that one can make as an absolute is that you do not have the right
to "sell images of ANYTHING you photograph."  If the sculptures are on
private property or are private property, you need the permission of the
owner to photograph them even if they can be seen from a public vantage
point if they are recognizable,the center of interest of the photograph, or
of significant importance to the image and its meaning and worth.

This has more to do with model/property releases than with copyrights, with
property rights and trespass laws than fair usage issues, and invasion of
privacy than infringements of copyright.  If it is a public sculpture on
public property ( like in a municipal museum or gallery, you would need to
get permission from the municipality or the public facility where it is
located.  The only time where you do not have to workry about acquiring any
permission is if the sculpture is in the public domain and located on public
property.

I was interested to read all this stuff on copyright as I have a problem
myself and wondered if anyone can help.

If I were to take a series of photographs of sculptures around my local town
and have them printed them up as postcards to sell, would I have to get
permission from either the sculptor or the governing body who commissioned
the sculptures in order to do this? Or am I within my rights to sell images
of anything I photograph.
