Re: .
Photographers should be allowed to capture what they want in public space - people and all. I'm not talking about taking pictures in private spaces like inside homes and hotel rooms.
PS: I have never made any money from my photos. I do it as a hobby. |

It's irrelevant whether your being paid or not, and just because it's in a public space does not make it right. Would you condone people having their conversations recorded at public establishments and their transcripts posted on the web?
Thats what your doing McFly! |

Photographers, including armature and professionals, are allowed to capture what they want in public places and freely post to publicize their own work. The images that photographers capture is the rightful property of the photographer to do with as he/she chooses. Period! |

Juding from your insane rambling, I'd bet that you've had an embarassing picture published on the internet.
You're trying to limit the rights of others in order to satisfy what you feel is your right. What about someone elses right to take a photograph of a building? Or a landscape? Or their right to make an audio recording of themselves while you're audible on the tape because you're speaking obnoxiously on your cellphone nearby.
If your insane idea of the law was reality, you would be complaining that *so and so* building was roped off and no one could go by it because someone was taking a picture of it. Or complaining about photographers bothering you for releases because the back of your head is in the lower right corner of their picture of *landmark*.
All of this because you feel that when in public no one should be able to look at or listen to you because you'll embarass yourself. |

So if you're on vacation and you're at the beach and you take a snapshot of your family and some person who may be in the shot inadvertantly comes up to you and says to give him the camera because you have no right to take a picture of him, you're just handing over your camera right? I thought not. |

| And yet NOBODY answered "Would you condone people having their conversations recorded at public establishments and their transcripts posted on the web?". Its the perfect analogy for what photographers are doing.
