Re: When do I need a Release?
Head-to-head advertisements are pretty old.
"Dissing" the opposition is not the same thing as trading on his mark, at least as far as the courts have been concerned.

Re: Covering your eyepiece / viewfinder
If you do a lot of very long exposures in bright sunlight--the circumstance in which eyepiece light leakage would be an issue--it's a good idea to carry a towel (preferrably white or otherwise...

Re: Covering your eyepiece / viewfinder
Obviously it depends on how much light is entering the eyepiece, not just the length of the exposure. I've seen the same thing "proven" by people putting electronic flash units against the eyepiece...

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
Yes.
If it takes special equipment or extra-ordinary effort to see it, then, yes, the reasonable expectation of privacy has been invaded.
What if someone had built a privacy fence and we caught a...

Or, for that matter, maybe I want to argue with his "artistic syntax" and point out why what he meant is not what he actually said. At least even then, there is a point to giving mental energy to...

Re: When do I need a Release?
That comes into the realm of trademark laws (and sometimes copyright laws), not model releases (the sign does not have "privacy rights").
In most nations, a trademark has to be registered with the...

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
Andre Serrano's work has never impressed me, but his work is "art" and he is an "artist" to the extent that he intends to make a point and he makes it with consistent success.
I'm less impressed by...

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
Good street photographer, however, is not just pointing a camera at strangers--it's not as if one set a camera up on a street corner to take a shot automatically at intervals.

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
I seem to recall something like that actually being done some time ago as "performance art."
And it's been done by many people on the Internet using their webcams.

Re: exclusive or non-exclusive license
And the usage sold to a client--whether exclusive or non-exclusive--might be limited by time or area, in which case you can still sell it outside those limitations.
A client might, for instance,...

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
Read the law--there is no proviso "unless the occupants are nude." In fact, the Texas law has even further provisions that make it a greater offense if the persons seen happen to be nude. At that...

Re: Has the privacy line been crossed?
The Texas law is very similar to the PA law that I quoted. It would be illegal to be peeping through other people's windows, and if you photographed such activities, the photographs themselves would...

Re: breaking the rules
Notice, please, that I said "I." I'm not really concerned about the chances other photographers take with their subjects. Some photographers get their subjects drowned, too.

Re: breaking the rules
Probably not. The feds always build fences and post signs if their intention is to keep people out. If you were driving through it, I presume there were no such signs.
Federal laws rarely prohibit...

Because you changed the odds. Insurance is a game of statistics, and you changed the odds by making a claim.
The purpose of insurance is to protect against catastrophes--career extinction events. ...
