Private vacation photos are very popular on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Take a photo, post it, collect likes - but it's not that easy. Because what many users are not aware of is that posting private vacation photos can violate various laws. We show how you are legally on the safe side.
Post private vacation photos: You have to pay attention to this on Facebook & Co.
Few holidaymakers know this: Art and buildings can be copyrighted. In order to avoid any legal difficulties, there are a few things you should consider when recording:
- Does the so-called "panorama freedom" apply to your photo? If it is permanent works on public streets, squares or paths and you have taken the photo from an accessible place, you can assume that there is no panorama. However, these must actually be permanent works: Especially with temporary installations, legal problems can otherwise easily arise.
- If it is a temporary installation, the artist's consent is required if you want to post the picture online. Even if the artwork was placed in a public place, it can still be under copyright. You should therefore exercise caution here.
- It is different if the work is not the main subject of your photo. If the work is only an insignificant secondary motif on your shot, you can post the holiday photo without hesitation. The motif is considered immaterial if it could be exchanged or omitted without the observer noticing.
- You should not neglect house rights either. The right holder can sue you for recordings in museums and the like. Therefore caution is advised, especially in contemporary works.
Personal rights for vacation photos: Who can still be seen in the picture?
- If you post photos on the Internet, other people may also be clearly visible in the background.
- If you do not have their consent, there may be a violation of personal rights. Because it is quite possible that the people do not want to be seen on the Internet at all.
- We therefore advise you: take your time for a beautiful motif and make sure that nobody jumps around in the background. This way you stay protected from strange photo bombing.
- If you have observed all of these points, there is nothing standing in the way of posting your private vacation photo. In order for the photos to be a real cracker, we show you how to perfectly fit the architecture and landscapes in Set scene]]
