Okay, so i've done a serch on the forum for "photographer's rights." Some interesting things came up, including a thread that talked about photographing children.

I've been interested in what kinds of legal rights photographer's have regarding public photography. I've been able to narrow it down to: Private property, owner's discretion; Public property, fair game. But i know it's not as simple as that. I've been hassled when on public property, and even when i was on private property, shooting under the direction of property owners.

A quick google search will turn up pages like this: *//www.krages.com/phoright.htm but pages are ALWAYS either for Bris or Americans. While i love both the United States and Britain and the people there, the law outside those two countries are very different. I'm from Canada, and Canadian law, contrary to popular belief, is noticably different from American law.

I'm really interested if there are any law/legal experts who could compile a list of photographer's rights, like Krages Attorney has done. I'm especially interested, of course, in Canadian Photographer's rights, but I'm sure others would be interested in rights for their countries.

Any links, infomation will be greatly appreciated. :)

Start with these links, they are good at describing the moral ethics in shooting and copyright laws globally.

One of my own rule of thumbs as a parent I understand completely.. so that is why when I take photos of others kids if I havent got a signed written ok form then I will not post them on the net. If you are going to post a picture of a child specially if is not yours its a good idea to have permission for the safety sake of that child...
Other then that I like the quote
"If you can see it, you can shoot it" ~unknown who said it~

USA Article on photography in public
Another article written about misunderstood photography USA

Pretty much this is worldwide...

"photographer's rights" work like most countries in the world in 9/10's of Canada (i'm not speaking of copyrights ) in Quebec you have more limited rights on what you can photograph

here is a good link for people from photographing in Ontario
