Bella Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have uploaded six images of the art installation at Uluru, Australia, the Field of Light by Bruce Munro. A couple of photos were rejected elsewhere for: "Non-Licensable Content -- Due to legal compliance restrictions, we cannot license this content in our collection." I couldn't find information regarding this but I have to trust that the agency knows this. Is there anyway I can remove my upload and therefore avoid failing QC? I've never failed a QC yet and don't want to be penalised for my oversight. Any advice would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 QC is purely technical- there's no IP screening. Australia has freedom of panorama, so you're in the clear unless the artist complains to Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for that spacecadet! I can't find information about it at all, should I leave them or delete them, what would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama#Australia I would leave them. If the artist gets stroppy Alamy will remove them anyway, but it could take years. I lost some NT images in the latest cull this year but I'd already made sales by then. There are a few on Alamy of his other versions of it in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you mean by "commercial". My usual rule: if there isn't a sign, and you're not asked not to take photographs, they're fair game. If you are asked, and if to continue would be a trespass, don't take any more, but the ones you already have are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domf Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Shouldn't be a problem if you tick "yes" for the question; "Does this image contain property that needs a release for commercial use?" in Attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't stop Alamy taking it down at the behest of a whining artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple were accepted on another site but then removed because "Ayers Rock cannot be licensed due to the spiritual nature of the site." But this same site has other photos of Ayers Rock for sale and it seems that the normal shot of Ayers Rock that we see everywhere is okay to photograph anyway. One photo they removed didn't even have the rock in it. I had already made a sale too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Never been to Australia. We don't have special laws applying to particular places. The National Trust has a byelaw which it is misusing, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeCee Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 "Ah, I was trying to figure out what NT was and thought you meant Northern Territory where Ayers Rock is" To us Brits, the "Northern Territory" is where Bryan lives - Durham and upwards...
