Thanks for mentioning that - it's worth pointing out. I was thinking of parts
of the country not controlled by Defence however. :)
One of the laws I was shocked by was the control of State governments over
commercial photography in National Parks. I can't see how a government can lay
claim to a view. It's possible that I could take a photo in a national park
and later publish it, but I'm hardly going to pay fees for taking photos unless
I know I am guaranteed to be paid for the pictures.
Mind you, the same state governments charge taxes for rain falling on private
property...
