RE: filmscanners: OT more copyright questions



In this case, my comment restated below applies:
        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.
I would add that: (a) this is a property rights/property release issue and
not a copyright issue; (b) since it is public property that the sculpture is
on, there are no trespass or invasion of privacy issues involved which might
require you to get permission to photograph the work; (c) but photographing
the work and selling the images are two different things so you would need
authorized permission, a license, and/or a property release to market your
images commercially.

The sculptures were commissioned by the County Library and are located
around the town, some on the roadside and others in public parks.
