- anigbrowl 12y agoA music performance in front of an audience is audiovisual. You would be right if we were talking about a photograph of a radio taken while the performance was broadcast, but we're not. Indeed, when people mention they attended a concert, they say things like 'I went to see my favorite band last week,' as opposed to saying they went to listen to them.

- anigbrowl 12y agoFor sure, but that by itself doesn't provide a full defense (per http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html). Bear in mind that if the ticket contractually forbids photography and the event is not in a publicly accessible venue, the issue might well be decided under contract rather than copyright law.

I don't make the law, I just tell you about it: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/rome/summary_rome.html http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/rome/summary_rome.html wikimedia itself observes that shoting without a permit may put you in breach of a contract you signed when you purchased the ticket, as I alluded to above: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Concert_photography http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by... ...which is why publishers won't buy photographs without a signed release, such as this one: http://images.tbd.com/entertainment/gaga-release.pdf http://images.tbd.com/entertainment/gaga-release.pdf
