In the same way that a photograph of a building is not considered a derivative work. I expect a photograph of a printed logo is not considered a derivative work either. Otherwise it would be illegal to publish photographs of shops or products.

I got stopped filming MI6 for a blog entry (It’s a prime example of postmodernism in 80s & 90s government architecture).

I showed them the video and explained what I was doing; but made it clear I was going to continue. They were perfectly polite and reasonable about it, and radioed other officers in the area to tell them I’d already been checked and wasn’t a threat.

one of the things i love about this whole thing of photographers rights is i can be standing outside a high rise office building being harrassed by security and the whole time they are video taping me and everyone else who happens by 24/7

Who cares? Show the cops your work. Just more exposure if you are an artist. What do you have to hide? If they don’t take it away, then no big deal. Too many babies in this wimpy world. TOUGHEN UP!!! It’s now a different world we live in! It’s not like they are taking your children or raping your women. It’s just a stupid picture. JEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ…. Spoken by a fellow artist. Not as sensitive and don’t have a ponytail.

Well, well… a nice little business size card to show the police. You guys sound like spineless complicit jews durring nazi germany when the the Nazi’s delcared all jews must wear a yellow star of david of specific size on a armband.

How about sticking up for your rights as free human beings? I dont care what Section 44 of the Anti-Terrorism act says. The real terrorists are in government destroying your freedoms. You see, they take your freedom away and they gain tremendous power over your daily lives.

You guys are spineless. The cops will just billy-club you when you pull that card out of your wallet because they think you’ll have a knife or a gun or a weapon of mass destruction. How about you wimps REVOLT against your George Orwell 1984 world you live in (or Huxley’s Brave New World).

You UK-living cowards make me physically ill. You wont even stand up for god given rights. You’re pathetic. Information is Beautiful my skinny a-s. Enjoy your tyranny, enjoy your dictatorship. Yeah, I’m angry, but question is: ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO REGAIN YOUR FREEDOMS AS HUMAN BEINGS?!

I have taken a photograph of a parking place with two lorries entering.

I have been told that the photograph cannot be used because the lorries have the companies corporate logo and livery.
without my making any comments about this, can I send the photograph via e mail for comments/opinions etc.

The photograph is intended to show goods vehicles entering a lorry park, any goods vehicles!

Thanks
