 Hi everyone, just a brief overview and summary of drones and copyright law. Essentially copyright law in Australia won't protect raw data, but if there's a table or compilation of data, copyright law may in certain circumstances protect what's known as the data set, and this is the legal recognition of a data set. But you'll also have copyright in imagery such as photos or footage or film that's taken by an aerial drone, for example. Copyright law dictates that the first owner of that imagery, the film or the footage will be the actual photographer or the maker of the film. However, what's important to note is that these ownership provisions may be altered by a contract entered into between the parties. So generally speaking, it will be the terms of use or the licence that's entered into between the drone user and the technology provider that will govern the copyright ownership of the resulting data or imagery. So what's important is that many of these terms of use are not really made available to parties prior to entry into these commercial agreements. So often this issue of who will own the resulting information is one that's left unclear, and essentially what is best practice would suggest is that the issue of who will own the resulting imagery, data, films or footage from aerial drones should be clarified between the parties prior to entering into commercial arrangements, whether that be a research arrangement or a commercial use of a drone. It's best to ask your technology provider what their provisions are in their licence agreement and ask to see the licence agreement itself.
