Re: Photographer sued for landscape photos

**C* S* <h*@cox.net>**

An interesting reading of the sentence. I read it to say

the artist "...entered Dixie Plantation some time in 2006 without permission (a comma should be inserted prior to the rest of the sentence)  "to shoot a photograph..."

Since this is private property, the first question to be resolved is did the individual have permission from the owner to be on the property.

The artist could have gained access to be on the property through misrepresentation and lacked the permission to take photos. As I understand the business of selling photos for use by publications, permission would have involved a written release from the property owners as such a document is required by a publisher's legal department.

Is that a common understanding of the rules within the publishing trade?
