Brenden's cargo hold photo (from 'Qantas Depressurisation' thread)

The picture is also on PPRUNE so who knows who has ownership. At the same time there is no Copyright water mark on the picture or surround text. Without this, can an individual use a picture without permission since they may not have any means of communicating with the owner?

Qantas safe, says aviation watchdog

PASSENGERS should have confidence in Qantas despite two safety incidents in the past four days, the aviation watchdog says.

Last Friday a Qantas international jet was forced to make an emergency landing at Manila after a mid-air explosion tore a hole in the plane's fuselage.

Yesterday a domestic Qantas jet was forced to return to Adelaide after a wheel bay door failed to close.

Neither incident should bring about wider worries, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA )says.

"We've been looking very carefully at Qantas' safety all throughout this year," authority spokesman Peter Gibson said.

"We finished a major audit of Qantas only last month and found no significant safety issues."

Mr Gibson rejected criticism that the authority was too close to the major airlines.

"Certainly CASA is not a partner in aviation safety, that would be entirely inappropriate obviously.
"We're at arms' length from Qantas and the major airlines."

There is also the issue that if a picture is taken in the course of doing ones duty (at a business) the IP of that picture belongs to the employer not the person who took the picture.

If the company owns the camera. what would you do if it was my camera that took the shots on company time.I own and paid for the camera i can do what i want with the shots.As far as safety you cut now you see what happens and yes passengers will leave.

If you took the shots on company time, irrespective of whose camera it is, then I think the company would have the right to be feeling cheated somewhat for the lost productivity.

As for doing what you wanted with the shots, then we'd be possibly getting into corporate security issues, breach of ASIC conditions of use issues etc, etc, etc. if it wasn't authorised by the property owner.

My 2 cents.

Not required, according to the Australian Copyright council.

Have no idea if their interpretation has actual standing in law, but it's likely as close as one gets without hiring lawyers etc!
