Same question, but for stills?
If you're sitting at the base with the crowd shooting w/your long lens then no - you're just a spectator taking snapshots. If you want to be on-course, however, I'm sure there's some kind of credentialing process with the event organisers.
I've been accredited for lots of events, but have never had to go through a credentialing process. ;)Quote:

It depends who is running it and who owns the rites to the event. If you take the time to find out you can be surprised, the Sea Otter classic claims rites to all video shot there and every picture taken there. You'd need specific permission to shoot video/take pictures at an event like that and permission to use it as well. They could say no all together, say you can use it after a certain date, or you could have to pay them to use it...

The rule of thumb is if the event gives you their own thingy to hang around your neck (a credential) it's my word - if what's normally in your wallet (a press pass) is good enough then it's yours.
Fine line, but hey.
Depends on if you plan on selling your video/photos or if they're for personal use. Nobody is allowed to keep you (the public) from taking pictures in public unless it's a Security concern (thanks Patriot Act.) They can keep you from selling those images, however.Quote:

I never even noticed that, but it is incredibly distinctive. Maybe I can e-bay the image.Quote:

Not unless he's credentialed, he doesn't.Quote:

However, they generally don't have the right to confiscate anything you have taken, nor do they have the right to make you delete image, nor to keep you from publishing them editorially. Of course, if you ever want to be allowed on the particular property again (or to other events managed by the same people), you may want to do as they ask anyhow.Quote:
