Partly true. >From memory the problem was as follows. An early draft of a bill on access to public land tried to ban commercial business from operating on public land, ie, Burger, ice cream vans etc, But due to bad wording, or a lack of understanding of the real world. All commercial business was included. This could have made it an offense to photograph a (public) mountain and then sell the photograph! AFAIK this bill has been dropped, or amended.
