Let's clarify the issue of rights...
If you are on this page, you have seen one of my images and want to check the legality and rights associated with it.
General conditions
I follow the law 100%, and this page lists the terms for releasing my images.
Lately, the barbarity of the internet has seen the emergence of law firms investigating violations of privacy and image rights on personal and corporate websites. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly specify where each image comes from and the license under which it is released.
I do not use images that are not mine, and unless we have a royalty-free public use license under a Creative Commons license, in case of doubt, the image is simply never used.
In the event of a dispute, the competent court is Varese, and since I have the supporting material for every image and detail, the type of existing rights can easily be verified and the dispute can be nullified.
Images obtained from drones
The images obtained by my drones are personal and were taken under the following conditions:
- LICENSE - With an operator's license (I am registered as an operator and have the necessary authorizations for in-flight filming), every filming is done safely and in accordance with the law.
- INSURANCE - While flying my drones, I am insured for the purpose required by law.
- COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS - Law 2023/006 UAS - When filming, remain well below the minimum altitude required by law. Always check with d-flight and, if in doubt, do not fly. Exercise utmost respect and caution (+VLOS: avoid overflying people, avoid even the most dubious situations, no flight operations in windy conditions - flights at times when the number of people who may be present is minimal or nonexistent). Always film with stricter rules than those required by law, i.e., with excessive caution.
- USE - The images are released only for the purpose for which they were used (low resolution), and any other use is prohibited without an agreement with the author. Unauthorized uses are not contemplated.
- VISIBILITY - In compliance with European regulations, the presence of my drone in flight is signaled by
propagating my operator ID.
- Privacy - Completely and totally respected; see note below.
Privacy
I completely respect that. I also want to point out that, since the privacy law was enacted, some people have mistakenly developed the bizarre belief that they are important and interesting subjects to be portrayed in drone or camera photos. This belief is completely wrong. They need to realize that "you are NOT important or significant (some aren't even very attractive), so no one wants to photograph you or is interested in what you do if not paid to do so."
My only concern for you is to delete you if you're accidentally framed, since "your presence in the photo is NOT wanted."
Personal images
Personal images are for use exclusively on this site. For other uses, you must request a license unless otherwise specified in the release notes below the image.
Images from the web or other resources
Some images used are under Creative Commons, and the license for these remains unchanged; the source is always clearly specified in the release notes.
For some images, I have a private license received from the author, and that's the proof...
Personal images at public events
I don't normally take images of this kind, but if I'm requested by various organizations, it might happen.
There's a special section in the privacy law for this type of image.
In fact, the privacy law allows posting images of people in public places during events of any kind, considering this activity under the specific section of "privacy exceptions."
In short, if the event is public, if you're not in the foreground, and if the recording is completely casual, you CANNOT object to its publication, because it's clearly clear that you're not the subject of the recording.
So theoretically you can object, but 99.99% of the time, you won't win, while public figures cannot object to its publication because they are "public."
Respect!
However, respecting everyone's rights is the best guideline for one's work, and I adhere to this.
Any errors or problems will be corrected promptly, if necessary, and linked to genuine rights.
False Claims and Fraudulent Disputes - Anyone who claims a false right commits an illicit act (from a public official abusing their power or from a private individual making a false statement), this will be challenged in the appropriate forum.
However, the act of "false claiming" rights also requires adequate compensation for the moral and economic damages suffered. This compensation (the highest possible), which I reserve the right to request in these cases, will be donated to local charities.
N.B. If you find the Creative Commons logo on the photo, "this logo takes precedence over any attribution of rights, even those specified on this page."
For anything not covered by these release notes, Italian/EU copyright law applies.
