I intend to market the DVD 'for profit' and therefore my question is, do I need to get permission from each and every College, Pub, Church etc that I film, or is permission not required provided that I film from the Public Highway, and respect the privacy of individuals? Are there any Copyright issue's that I need to consider? |

You are under no obligation to no one if you are on public right of way. You even own the copyright, not them. If the BBC can do it so can you. Exceptions are the obvious military, atomic, toilet type establishments. |

If questioned, you tell them you are an amature just taking photo's. You are breaking no laws and nobody has the right to stop you. As long as you do not block the footpath with a tripod, you are not commiting any crime. This question has come up a number of times in the photographic mags, as Dennis Bailey said, carry on and anjoy yourself. Police officers are now beeing educated in the interpretation of the Law, regarding taking photo's in public places. Hope this helps. Peter Evans

I am not a professional when it comes to photography and therefore was not aware of what I might encounter as I prepare for this dvd of my tour. I appreciate greatly your comments and guidance, also the fact that you have taken the time to respond as has fellow poe members. Regards Ron Brind |
