drone shots and legal aspects

In the discussion about drone shots and their legal framework, panoramic freedom also plays a crucial role. This is regulated in Section 59 (1) sentence 1 of the Copyright Act (UrhG), as reports

Current legal developments, however, show that perspectives that are only accessible through aids such as drones do not fall below the panoramic freedom. A judgment of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) found that drone recordings do not meet the necessary conditions of panoramic freedom. This applies in particular to recordings of art installations that are not perceptible from public space. The BGH decided that the use of drone shots violated the rights of the authors and emphasized the importance of protection for copyrights.
