@velasco personally, i agree with the article. this work looks like it is displayed in a public forum, and you are producing an image based on the work....you aren't zoomed in on one of the pieces or filling your frame with one piece of art. no problem here as far as i'm concerned.
@bink NP. The general premise in Oz seems to be "in a public place, no one has the right not be photographed." Isn't that a lovely simple, no nonsense statement.
It certainly seems that way. Despite practising discretion and common courtesy, I've still had people give me a hard time when I've taken snaps at public events. At a recent event, it was just a bystander who wasn't in any of my pictures giving me the hard time. The guy started sprouting things about privacy laws and what not. I knew what I was doing wasn't illegal, but to cover all bases I simply said I don't make money out of it and left it at that.

Question though:
@bradsworld @alisongbradshaw Do you think it is wrong for me to publicly display this image according to #1 on the list?
Just wondering, I had some people question me about this...

Also, as I have a connection with Australia as well, here is a good definitive line for our members from Oz.
