France has such legislation, but not the UK.

The only restrictions anyone can impose are if you are taking photographs 
on private property, in which case the owner of the property or his or her 
burly security guards (!) can complain. Shopping centres are a surprising 
example of this, the security personnel in such are of ten very 
anti-photography.

That isn't a copyright issue though. Should you succeed in taking pictures 
of a building in such circumstances, there is nothing the owners can do 
subsequently, even if the picture makes you lots of money.

Does anyone know about UK copyright regarding buildings/land marks. I've
heard that the Lloyds Building is copyrighted and you are not allowed to
sell photographs of it. Although I've been unable to find any information
which tells me this?

I've also heard recently of a Formula One web site being sued for having
photos of Formula One cars on it. The site is not commercial and was set up
by someone who is a fan of racing.

Is there any exact specification for copyright presentation?
Yes, for legal purposes, I think there is both a proper form for the
copyright notice, if it is used, for the contents of the notice, if it is
used, and for the date that should be used.  The date, I believe, is the
date of registration of the copyright, if it is registered, or the date of
publication, interpreted very broadly to include any public display of the
image.

However, as to the dates used on a copyright notice, the situation does get
a little murky when there are transfers of the copyright from one party to
another which might result in the use of the date of the transfer; but I am
unclear on this.

The copyright that Jay Maisel requested was in his cover letter.

We've all seen copyright stated in various ways. Sometimes with two years,
the year of origin and year of publication. Sometimes just the year of
publication. If you've seen older single year copyright, it has probably
been that the images was published in that year. On the web it might mean
that the site hasn't been updated.

Is there any exact specification for copyright presentation?

I noticed that too. The copyright definitely does not correspond. Some of
those images are 15+ years old.

Re: filmscanners: RE: OT UK Copyright Issues

2001-03-22 Thread Michael Moore

Julie... I am going to risk Dickie's wrath and reply... I don't know the
anything about U.K. law... however, the distinction that needs to made here is
the difference between copyright (which applies to an original work of art,
literature, film, photos, etc) and the rights to use images of a physical
object, person or place. Any person or place can be photographed, but that does
not mean that you can use the image in any way you like, particularly for
commercial gain... that's what model releases are for... However, there is a
distinction made for uses that are considered editorial or news, and uses that
are for commercial purposes (such as an ad). Many stock photogs have libraries
of what they call editorial use only shots, which are photos witout a model
release... The Loyds building and Formula One race cars would probably be fair
game to use as editorial shots, but definitely off limits for advertising, post
cards, etc. I have an idea the poor guy with FOne site was sandbagged by legal
bullies who could have been held at bay by his own legal pit bull if he had the
resouces to pay for it... He should have made it look like an on line
magazine... he also may have been using other people's shots (which brings us
back to copyright)..
Anyway... enuf said on this OT thread...
