PF'rs, Check this out: http://newurbanist.blogspot.com/2005/01/copyrighting-of-public-space.html Read the email responses to the topic too. Sorry if this is another worn out topic but maybe some new thoughts. The question is again - (in the U.S.) can police prevent anyone from taking a picture on/off public property? I understand that a government could retain a copyright for citizens. I'm told that the entire Millennium Park in Chicago is copyrighted. I set up my tripod there and made pictures unmolested by the cops - was I just lucky? AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 2nd ed. NOW SHIPPING http://www.panoramacamera.us
