Photographing without
permission
In the United States,
anything visible ("in
plain view") from a public area can be legally photographed. This includes
buildings and facilities, people, signage, notices and images. It is not
uncommon for security personnel to use intimidation or other tactics to
attempt to stop the photographer from photographing their facilities
(trying to prevent, e.g., industrial espionage); however, there is no
legal precedent to prevent the photographer so long as the image being
photographed is in plain view from a public area.
In recent years, some building owners have claimed a copyright on the
appearance of their building; such landmarks as the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, Pittsburgh's PPG Place, etc. United States copyright law, however,
explicitly exempts the appearance of standing buildings from copyright
protection. See United States Code, Title 17, Chapter 1, § 120.a. |

Publication
In general, one cannot publish someone's image to endorse a product or
service without first acquiring a "model release," which is usually a
contract between the publisher or photographer and the subject. |
