This is a photograph I took late one November afternoon, unfortunately I did not violate any immediate copyright laws, however I did take the photo from private land and also in the photo are a number of People's cars and a motorbike.
If I was not within the relatively 'safe' realms of educational copyright protection, and I was perhaps making millions from this one photograph some people may kick up a fuss and try to prosecute to get a slice of my money, however the only people who could maybe attempt this would be the land owners from which I took the photo, and maybe the council might have a policy about taking photos of their street furniture. The drivers who own the cars in the photo will not be able to prosecute mainly because it is impossible to identify a single person, however as they did contribute to the photo... they may well be entitled to a portion of any profits. It is impossible to work out exactly where to stop though... do the makers of my camera get attributed? the people who put the roadsigns up? how about Thomas Eddison - the creator of the incandescent light bulb?
In a truly anal world, everyone would get a penny
