[Commons-l] New photography rules in U.S. National Parks and other federal lands

[Aude]

The U.S. Department of the Interior is considering changing rules regarding
photography on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and
Wildlife Services, and the National Park Service.  That would include all
national parks, and other places (e.g. the National Mall in DC).

New Filming Rules Proposed on Federal Lands

Tourists would still be allowed to take pictures, but the definition of
commercial photography is vague in what they propose.  I think I would still
take pictures and upload them to Commons.  But, technically I suppose we are
commercial or freelance photographers, since we allow such use.  I would not
like it if the new rules allow security personnel to be more bothersome when
I'm taking photographs.
