Copyright law is something that I, as a professional photographer and computer person, am well versed in. Ask me anything. I've got a question. I do a little sidework aerial photography with "Drones". (I HATE THAT TERM...True modelers call them "Quads". I digress....)

It's mostly for real estate companies. I have my FAA license, and I've been a member of the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) for 20+ years. Fully insured. Everything legit. I've always wondered about something: If I am photographing or recording video of a property, and I pick up of footage of someone elses property, I know that it's perfectly legal. BUT, would I have to pay them any royalties if they asked for it? It hasn't happened, but's always kind of been there in the back of my mind.
