DENVER — The U.S. Forest Service is proposing new rules that would require commercial photographers and videographers — including news media — to apply for expensive permits before working in wilderness areas.
The permits would cost up to $1,500 per project, and the Forest Service could refuse any projects it deems inappropriate. If the Forest Service determines that a person has used images taken in wilderness areas without permission, they could be fined more than $1,000 and forced to recall the images.

Someone needs to be reminded that those are PUBLIC LANDS.... My land. your land NOT THE GOVERMENTS LAND!!!!!!

I seen this earlier and thought it was a joke at first. Where the f'k do they get off? And this from the same people that say you have no right to keep your image out of their databases or to video privacy when in public.......

The argument will be that you are making money from the photos because you are a commercial enterprise. Same as requiring a permit to be a street performer in a park. Still don't think I like it.

perhaps...

But you know it will be abused and cost you more in lawyer fees to prove your not a commercial enterprise then it would have to of gotten the permit to take your family vacation photos.

They already do this in national parks and it's BS. If a shoot is big enough to require road closures or rangers on set then they should be billed for it. Not a blanket policy.
