It's tricky shit. Reminds me of that pending lawsuit made by the managers of the Sear towers as to its image/likeness being used in advertising without their permission.

(Aug 1 07, 12:36)actually if you ever used rights manged or photographer, using images that being used commercial purposes, the owner of the building or people in the photographs must consent to it.
Like the London Eye, that is owned by British Airways. if you use a photo from a photographer or stock shop, (not personal shots) you must clear it with BA.
This is same as taking picutres of someone and using it. you are not allowed to do that. hence model release.
if everything was to be in public domain, i could take a picture of you use it for to sell products or service.
now if you are photographer for a magazine and your sole purpose use of that image is to show the picture it self and not selling the product or service, you are allowed to do so.

I wonder how it works if you licence an image on behalf of a client, then display your work, including that image, in your company portfolio?
or once the rights have lapsed on the licenced photo...

model releases for buildings-
shit is getting out of control

People in public can be photographed legally without signing releases. There's all kinds of plain-view exceptions to that. Hence the paparazzi etc.

i agree that taking a photo of a billboard is not illegal, but i don't know about using said photo to sell your services...that is the grey area
i recommend to anyone who is not sure about it, to have two portfolio's
a public one, that you are sure of
and a password protected (nothing can get through) version by request, that can have whatever the crap you want in it
i don't do it that way, but i don't hardly ever have a site up anywayz

So wait...any of us who have client work posted on our sites with stock photography that we personally didn't buy a license for (even if the client bought a license) are in danger of getting busted? That's like every freelancer and agency out there.

(Aug 1 07, 14:41)DUDE:That's a Swiss fucking watch.
WALTER: Thaaat's right, Dude. The beauty of this is its simplicity. If the plan gets too complex something always goes wrong.

And meanwhile, look at the bottom line. Who's sitting on a million fucking dollars? Am I wrong?

My personal theory on Getty is that they would do much better if they brought their prices down to something like $15-20 for an average low-res RF image. Charging $150 for a 72 dpi shot of some cheesy-looking people working in an office is ridiculous and simply invites piracy. Trying to track down and litigate against people who copyright infringe is simply not feasible, so the best way to stop piracy is to make it more convenient for people to legitimately pay for the product - they'll make up in volume what they lose per sale many times over. istockphoto is going gangbusters targeting the low end of the market, Getty should cover their ass and target the middle as well as the high end.

Can't you also put something in the terms and conditions of use of your site, whereby you state that by using the site, you do so on the condition that you are not doing so for the purposes of collecting data for use in any proceedings, ongoing or at any future time, that are taken against the site owner, and that by accessing the site, you hereby waive all rights to do so now, and in perpetuity ?
Cunts.
