"A property release says that the owner of a
certain property, such as a pet or a building,
has given you consent to take and use images of
the property. You don?t need one for public
property, such as government buildings (although
you may run into problems just from photographing
them, for security reasons). But for images of
private property and particularly of objects
that are closely identified with specific people
you are safer if you get a release.
The releases you obtain should be saved forever
and should be linked in some way with the
photographs to which they relate. You can expect
to be asked to produce them whenever you license
an image, and you will need them if you ever have to defend yourself in court."
