Photos taken from a foreign aeroplane?
[edit]Please clarify if photo taken by a passenger through a window (he/she is still inside the plane) of a foreign aeroplane (LOT/Polish airlines or Lufthansa/ German airline company), which have just landed Minsk National Airport (or is leaving from it), is subject to Belarusian FOP-rules (Freedom of panorama), or those of Poland / Germany , or does it depend where the plane came from (previous country; or where it is heading to, in the case of leaving the country)? I mean photo taken before the person (photographer) enters the territory of Belarus, or after he/she has left it? Inside the foreign plane he/she is not in Belarus, I suppose; the border control is only later (earlier when leaving), at the airport. So if I submit a photo of this airport taken from a plane of a country with FOP (Freedom of Panorama), is it ok or not? --Paju (talk) 22:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- Not OK even if the picture is taken from a plane. --217.21.43.64 10:56, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- The photographer is NOT on Belarusian territory, but inside a Polish/ German plane when he/she takes the photo. How could the Belarusian copyright law apply him/her there? Just saying so is not specific enough an answer, but just a thought by some anonymous IP-number! Can anybody else help to answer this question properly? It would be strange if Belarusian copyright laws would apply in other countries. Compare: How could e.g. media of other countries give any critics toward authoritarian rulers if the laws of those countries (like the constitution of Belarus) would be valid in other countries, for the citizens of the free countries... --Paju (talk) 03:51, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- Not yet proper answer received. Just some vague claims behind some IP, but no proper argumentation why Polish/ German law would not be valid in such an for an passenger who has not arrived in Belarus. --Paju (I still use my original Commons username, the other User:Paju has emailed me that this is ok, as she/he is expecting her/his username to be changed)
