Photojournalists are taxpayers, too. Taxpayers whose taxes help pay the salaries of the bozos who crafted this rule. Mark J.

There are a lot more of us who go to the parks to enjoy them without tripping over people filming. Those "bozos" made the rules to protect the parks for us. Taylor

The headline is really mis-information, as it leads people to believe that you won't be allowed to take photos in National Forests, which is not the case at all. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

More info | The idea of the permit process is to make sure that the commercial crew has the proper insurance and to determine to what extent it might interfere with the public. Also to clean up after yourself. You can't film in NYC without a permit. While wilderness areas don't have a lot of people around, a large crew can have an impact on the ecological balance. Wilderness areas are declared as such in order to preserve the wilderness. Joe
