Well, you think it's public view but by the good grace of the NT you've been allowed to view the stately pile, possibly having paid an entrance fee and a condition of entry is that photography for commercial purposes requires written permission. <br />You might think Trafalgar Square is a public space but of course it's owned by some London Body or other which has decreed that commercial photography is not allowed. I was stopped from filming in Trafalgar Square once. 'Whay?' I asked. 'You need a licence, Sah' replied the big faceless man, looking at my Panasonic HD camera. I continued filming from the steps of the National Gallery and he glared but did not try to stop me.<br /><br />As for the US, works such as sculptures enjoy a Right of Public Display which would be infringed if they were shown on film or TV which has been deemed to be 'public display'. See Frederick E. Hart v. Warner Bros regarding a sculpture claimed to be the basis of a scene in the film 'The Devil's Advaocate'.

A photograph of a sculpture is not a “derivative work”. <br /><br />It’s very puzzling that Wikipedia would cave so easily and arguably so incorrectly on such a fundamental issue, when authority such as Bill Patry clearly points in the other direction.<br /><br />BTW, Canada clearly has a “panorama right” in its Copyright Act for sculpture permanently situated in a public place or building and an “incidental inclusion” exception as well.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Howard<br />Howard Knopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321190334597129416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-64352637285360881382012-11-12T14:26:46.730+00:002012-11-12T14:26:46.730+00:00I cannot comment on the position outside the UK, b...I cannot comment on the position outside the UK, but s 62 CDPA 1988 is not necessarily as generous in practice, at least as to buildings and other structures preceded by drawings, as your post suggests. Laddie Prescott and Vitoria (4th Edition) at para 21.95 suggest that this provision relates only to copyright in such structure itself, and does not provide an exception to infringement as to any underlying architect's design drawings.Trevor Cooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-7734701593474949652012-11-12T13:44:53.160+00:002012-11-12T13:44:53.160+00:00That's the price to pay for wanting to protet ...That's the price to pay for wanting to protet every single aspect of anything anyone has ever said or done - how much longer before we need to stop talking to each other in public because somebody has written down before something we wanted to say?<br />I'm not against protecting the worthwhile, but when that protection starts interfering with the daily life of the ordinary citizen, then in my view we are better off without it.Ericnoreply@blogger.com
