| "The TFL reference only refers to commercial photography" NO it does not. LUL also require photography students to acquire a licence - sorry this is not up for debate but a statement of fact and from personal experience. Else LUL would not make it clear that they require a licence for mature or other non-professional use. "Anyone can photograph the GSK building as long as you outside the boundary of the site." They can and indeed they do but the advice of a lawyer, retained by a number of street photographers in the City, who were being harassed under the Prevention of Terrorism Act was that you are technically in breach of copyright which rests in the design owner an does so for seventy years after his/her death. A number of iconic building have also been registered as trademarks which, can create real problems if photographed hence the strong guidance from, among others Ludlams the IP lawyers. No-one routinely enforces this but it does belie the 'you can photograph anything, anywhere myth. |
