Title: regarding a building in London for stock
Post by: lostintimeline on December 07, 2024, 04:04
A few days ago ,I took a video and a photo of the River Thames in London ,on the other side of the Thames, Where there is a bridge ,and modern buildings in the background. When I used chat GPT ,to write me a proper description of the photo ,I was surprised to read that one of the tall buildings in the background ,was The headquarters of MI6 lol
Although the building is not the main focus of the image and video,it’s part of the whole scenery ,and it’s still visible
So my question is ,do you think it’s kinda risky to send this video to pond 5 for instance ,even as editorial ?although I shot the video from public .if you live in london you probably know what area I’m talking about .
Has anyone send similar photos with this MI6 building in the background ?
Cause in todays paranoia that’s why I avoid shooting this kind of videos although as I sad the main focus was the bridge in the river
Thankfully I wasn’t harassed by a police officer .

Are you that afraid of British intelligence? Or are you just paranoid?  ;D ;D ;D
If your video doesn't have any trademarks or building names on it, you can submit it under a commercial license. In any case, your video will be checked by inspectors and they will tell you whether it should be submitted as an editorial.

Of course, don't write in the title that this is a building where the intelligence is located. At the very least, stocks may not accept such a name. Although, if you want to indicate this, you can ask stock agencies.

Thanks for the answer
No I’m not paranoid is just I don’t feel comfortable sending for stock buildings like that
Anyway I didn’t know that I filmed this kind of building that’s why I asked here

In a democratic and free country you can film anything you want if you don't see any prohibiting signs. And if the gpt chat says that this is an intelligence building, then write it down, MI6 office! (but the truth is that such inscription may be considered editorial, or it may not be considered).  ;D
