I don't know either way. I'd normally be with kragen on this, but... I have become cynical enough that I wouldn't be surprised if the sports leagues had gotten laws passed about it.
Does anyone know?
- madaxe_again 2y agoNo, no specific law, but in a private space they can set whatever conditions of entry they like, such as “no photos”. There are laws around photography in public spaces, usually around being a pain in the ass and harassment or malice, but in a private space it’s up to the entity controlling the space.
- kragen 2y agoharassment laws also apply in private spaces probably if you violate those conditions of entry, what you're facing is a suit for damages for breach of contract. if you uploaded your photos to wikipedia that doesn't make the wikimedia foundation liable the way they would be if there was a copyright being violated or an invasion of privacy, so the breach of contract suit may not be very useful to the plaintiff
- kragen 2y agosurely there is in places like north korea, but specifically in usa, canada, and the eu, there is not yet such a law: https://old.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/b7h22d/legality_and_best_method_of_selling_sports_photos/ https://old.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/b7h22d/legalit... they're working on it: https://www.wipo.int/podcasts/en/ip-matters/transcripts/ip-matters-08.html https://www.wipo.int/podcasts/en/ip-matters/transcripts/ip-m...
