Copyright \u2013 Use of Photos<\/h1><\/div>\n <\/div>
\n

The regulations are not new, but they are once again receiving more attention due to the EU GDPR.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Law Concerning Copyright in Works of Fine Arts and Photography, Section 23<\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n

(1) Without the consent required by Section 22, the following may be distributed and publicly displayed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
    \n
  1. Portraits from the realm of contemporary history<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Pictures in which the persons appear only as an accessory alongside a landscape or other locality;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pictures of assemblies, processions, and similar events in which the depicted persons participated<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
    \n

    And here is an interpretation that can be found repeatedly in essence:<\/strong>Clarification: Photographing events (Source)<\/strong>Since numerous inquiries, especially in the field of event photography, are received, a brief note on this: Regardless of whether under KUG or GDPR: for the publication of images without consent, an exception according to Section 23 (1) KUG or a justification possibility according to Art. 6 GDPR (such as a legitimate interest) must exist. It should therefore be neither appropriate nor necessary to hold a written declaration of consent under the nose of every guest or participant just to be allowed to photograph. This <\/strong>already presents considerable organizational difficulties and would involve the unnecessary additional collection of visitor data, which is also not in the spirit of data protection, Art. 11 GDPR. A concert visitor, for example, is already to be treated as a customer of the organizer, and thus, with a notice regarding the photo recordings and, if applicable, the rights of the data subject (Art. 13 GDPR), a legitimate interest can regularly be established. <\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n
    In this context, please also note the Information on Copyright<\/strong><\/a> (PDF file, 350 kB)<\/strong>compiled for the internet officers.<\/h5>\n<\/div>
    \n

    Detailed information on copyright in the digital world can be found on the iRrights.info\/<\/a> page.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    Recommendation: When inviting to events, point out in writing and verbally before the start that photo and video recordings will be made for later publication.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    License plates do not need to be obscured:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
