Well now, hard to figure how far this can or will go......

Photographing on open land?

Paul. My reading of the text of the law is that one would have to be trespassing before they are violating the "no collecting data on private land." Trespassing is illegal in itself as far as I know. Unlawful entry into private land without permission to be there is already a crime, this just makes it illegal to use illegally gained data. Not sure how any of these people made the leap to it being illegal to take a photograph in a public National Park.

My understanding is that you can take Photos for personal use and sharing them with others with no objections.

What would happen if you decided to sell some of those Photos to strangers or on the web?

Would that be considered a commercial enterprise?
