Expanding on a similar thread.

What are your rights as a photographer? This resource was mentioned in a
recent issue of Shutterbug, and is quite informative and helpful. The
second item down on the page is a link to a one-page quickie about general
rights, etc. He encourages people to print it out and carry with them, if
they want, just so long as they give proper credit, understand it is not
all-inclusive, etc.

Is there a similar guide for phographers from other countries, such as
Canadians?

You don't need one. You guys have a comparitively sensible government. I
read with interest the refusal to enforce the new gun registration law. It
seems that most of canadas crime related problems stem from having sharing a
border with the united states.

Just be happy you don't share a border with Mexico.

Actually our laws are quite different from the US and vary from
province to province. For example, in Quebec, a persons right to
privacy, even in a public place, is considered to be more important
than a photographer's right to photograph there. A newspaper tried to
fight this right up to the Quebec Supreme Court and lost the case.
As well, a photographer hired to photograph something, like a wedding
or a product, does not own the copyright on the images automatically.
In our country it is assumed that the person commissioning the images
owns the copyright unless those rights are transferred in a legally
binding contract.
If you do any photography in a foreign country it would be in your
best interests to fully investigate the law. Commercial photographers
coming to Canada may not realize they don't own the copyright unless
their contract specifies it.

Perhaps because the law is unconstitutional, and laws that are "repugnant to
the constitution are invalid..."

"crime related", perhaps, but not "gun related," Statistics prove that the
presence of guns in the hands of honest citizens reduces the crime
rate.......

so this a bit older(40ish) black lady is topless on the beach. She got
something like 38DD-40DD going.
she plays with her bra, putting it on and off, then she stands up,
wraps her breasts with a towel and goes into the public unisex showers.
There she takes off her towel and infront of everyone washes her
boobies. It's a public beach, a public showing of her assets, so I
guess no problems in snapping a few of her.
