Hi;

I have about 100 in field videos but apparently it is not legal top publish them. They are everything from 4 min to 1 hour sets. I thought I select the useful parts and put them on line. I am in Australia, the rules are pretty restricted, don't want to get int o trouble if anyone complains,

If anyone knows about this please share.

Cheers

Depends really on the legal jurisdiction (where you are). Ask a lawyer in your state/province/region in Australia. Some laws that you'll need to consider are privacy-related laws and violence against women-related laws.

Some jurisprudence (court decisions) allow the taking of videos if you are an established news organization or you are making a documentary involving non-hired anonymous persons or commercial film with hired actors which requires a permit from your local government. There will always be loopholes so be sure to do your research so you can use these to your advantage.

Since Australia is part of the British Commonwealth, it will likely have common laws (established laws by tradition or previous rulings or maybe even made by the House of Commons) and legislative laws (made by your congressmen and senators or House of Lords).

Likewise, if you are going to publish those in Youtube, Youtube has very specific guidelines so your videos wouldn't be taken down with valid viewer complaints.

If you are using paid models in your videos, then there really is no problem. Just let your models sign a waiver which should go hand in hand with their contractual obligation to perform as models/actors in your infield videos.

Paid models is one of the reasons why I always take infield videos with a grain of salt. But if you look at Youtube, there are videos out there that are really bordering on the illegal like brawls and street fights.

Thanks man.

What kind of lawyer would you speak to?

Cheers

Try those who specialize in the civil code, family matters or individual rights.

I spoke to a criminologist (a friend) about it. He said he has no idea.

I told him to fuck off and do your research, be a useful fuck you sick piece of shit.

Hopefully I'll have more info from him soon.

I'm pretty sure its legal as long as you're in a public area (i.e. bar, street, store, etc.) but if you at any point enter a private domain (i.e. your apartment, her apartment, bathroom), you are required to blur the persons face.

You probably don't need to talk to a lawyer though bro lol Check your local laws. You could most likely just use this thing called "Google" and find out whether or not it's legal.
