Default Permission to photograph airplanes in public

Generally, if you take the photo from a public place, such as a public
sidewalk, the subject has no say. The way it was worded that even if you
took a picture of someone in their bedroom, while standing on a public
sidewalk, you didn't need the subjects permission.


Not very good advice unless your goal in life is to be a papparizo!

You can get away with a lot if you can reasonably argue that you are a
newman performing a public service, even if what you actually are is a
sleazeball making money off the externalities (or even internalities)
of the rich & famous. I don't see how this gent can make that
argument, even if he were willing to try.

So take that witha grain of salt.
