[Aroid-l] flowersforme123- another photo stealer

From: Steve at ExoticRainforest.com (ExoticRainforest) on 2008.01.17 at 02:49:04(16958) Jason, several lawsuits against photographers have established a property owner's right to conpensation if a photograph of their private property is used for commercial purposes. Disney is big on enforcing this order. Any photographer who wants to publish their photos taken on Disney property must first get a property release. When I used to do commercial work for advertising clients we were very careful to get a property release from any property owner whose property might be identified in a photograph in order to protect our clients. Steve Lucas +More www.ExoticRainforest.com On that note, this also explains certain restrictions against photographing in certain places. The example that comes to mind is Birch Aquarium at Scripps, in San Diego. At the door, they specify that you are welcome to take pictures only for non-commercial purposes. The reason is just as has been stated: to sell a photo taken there would in fact be making money from their property. Birch Aquarium has a beautiful exhibit of a living kelp forest, which no doubt costs them big bucks to maintain; to sell a photo of it without their permission would be parasitic, just like the aforementioned paparazzi.
