It appears that the flash can damage the closed circuit TV cameras that are all over the place. It appears to have little to do with rights per se. The logo is of course copyrighted - as are many other LT (TfL if you must)_ items, such as the famous map. The aim here however is clearly to protect revenues. So, if somone doesn't have a tunesign logo tattooed on their forehead you are probably OK ;-) Peter Dzwig PS I've never heard of the National Trust restriction, but am not entirely suprised. But that raises a point - are they seriously claiming rights over this photo: http://gallery.leica-users.org/Dorset2004/StudlandHeath2004 which was taken on and over NT Land??
