"Tyson Rininger" wrote in message k.net... The event was open to the public. It's perfectly legal to sell images of aircraft in the sky. Sorry, that's certainly not true. It is quite common at things like sporting events for the event to claim copyright on the "show." Maybe you can get away with it at Airventure (although they specifically claim such rights, see this link: http://www.eaa.org/trademark_policy.html ), but try it at a NASCAR event sometime, their lawyers will be on you faster than than you can say Tony Stewart. Not all your pictures are of aircraft in the sky anyway (not that it makes any difference). |

Now, if one were to look a bit further, one might see how this, as are most of you posts, are riddled with your own personal interpretations which are mostly incorrect. |

If people want to discuss (or argue) what I say in my posts, they are welcome to do that. I'm always willing to listen, and even to be persuaded by other's posts. This I welcome as opposed to people who just pop up here and throw flames on the group without contributing any information. |

While I'm greatful for your guys' concern over my right to sell images, the
law is still on my side. I am familiar with NASCAR and their policies (I'm a photographer for Laguna Seca Raceway) and also know the difference between a sanctioning body (NASCAR)and a club such as EAA. While I don't agree with NASCAR's bully approach to the right's grab scenario, EAA does not have commercial rights over the aircraft that participate nor the land in which the airport occupies...a little different than a privately owned racetrack which pays NASCAR for their presence. On another note, just about all of the key players involved with EAA know of my photography including founder Paul Pobrezney and President, Tom Pobrezney. Even their PR guy knows of the website. Try to enjoy the images...that's kinda the idea! Tyson "Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... "Tyson Rininger" wrote in message k.net... The event was open to the public.

The three of your last posts that I've seen (excluding this) were to
let someone know they were wrong, or to explain what a poster meant to say. How about doing something useful with your clairvoyance and give us the winning lottery numbers, numb nuts!

Maybe you can get away with it at Airventure (although they specifically claim such rights, see this link: The EAA can claim any thing they want, but legally they only have rights to the name of the fly-in. They definitely do not have the rights over any photographs shot there as it is a public airport and grounds. Photos shot in their hangers, or museum are a different matter. Now they could sue some one, but unless they got a really sympathetic ear they would lose and risk the possibility of a very expensive counter suit. What we as individuals can not do (without their blessings) is to use the trademark name of airventure It's also been my impression as Tyson has stated, they have never pushed the issue and I don't think they would unless some one was using their trade name for their own purposes.
