As far as I know, the rights havent been updated or changed from anything drastic.
Public sporting events are allowed to be photographed as long as no revenue is generated from the photo. Some locations, such as buildings/stadiums/structures/artworks have limitations to photographs and may prohibit the taking of such a picture. But people in a public place is fair game. even if a guy is streaking across the field and you snap it, its legit to have as long as you do not sell it without his written consent, giving you rights to the photo. However, he can not, nor can law enforcement, force you to destroy or change in any way, the photo you took. Unless the institution/facility you took the photo has a policy preventing its photo from being taken or the use of a camera. For further clarification, contact the facility management or corporate human resources or public relations department.

Have the rights been updated since 2006? Do these same rights apply to children’s sports? Not school sports. Do I need the parent’s consents?

Does anyone have any links to photography rights in NZ? I read the article from the link provided above, but was wondering if anyone else new of anything.
But judging by what a soft and PC country this has turned into, it is probably now definately illegal in all shape and form.
Anyone got any links? In the meantime, I will continue to Google…

All good information, and for all those reading this, the next time you see a copper, just ask yourself what qualifications they have concerning the law. Tha’t right, most of them don’t have any, same as you or me.

I was taking a photograph of a large group of people at the foreground of an amazing skyline at a local park and was approached by a man who told me I can not photograph him that I must delete the picture. He stated I must have his permission to take his photo, and he clearly stated I did not have his permission.
He was appropriate in looks, was doing nothing demeaning, and looked like no one famous. I was taking the photo for no monetary gain or institution of fame deriving from the photograph. Basically scrapbooking. I am just wanting to confirm that I was within legal limits to take the photo regardless of what he had stated.

At the moment I live in Holland and will be moving to Sweden later this year. Does anyone have info about rights in those countries? Would be very grateful for any information.
By the way if you do a search on Youtube.com for Photographers rights you get some very intresting film .

Thx

I live in Bangkok and recetly faced a direct confrontation with a store manager.

Its tough. I am a hobbyist and it really makes enjoying this hobby harder.

I blogged about it here for the details.
