Could someone please inform of the implications of publishing pictures of items which may included trademarked or copyright material. Specifically, can I publish a picture of a billboard which includes an advertisement from say Coke or the Atlanta Olympic committee. Such billboards are clearly displayed in public. Or what are the implications of publishing a picture of the the city of Atlanta which includes an Olympic billboard or some other copyrighted display or logo. Must I obtain permission even though the object being photographed is publicly displayed?
