For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but publishing a recognizable person can be challenged if it harms their legitimate interests (Copyright Act Sec. 78)
GDPR applies on publication; embarrassing, defamatory, or commercial-exploitation contexts are the risk.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Section 54(1)(5) of the Copyright Act permits commercial use of architecture and public artworks made to remain permanently in public, and courts have extended it to interiors of publicly accessible buildings. You cannot re-erect the building or remake the sculpture.
Practical notes
- Selling photos of Vienna building exteriors and permanent public sculptures is allowed, and many interior shots of public buildings are tolerated.
- The limit is re-creating the work in its own medium, like a model kit of a protected building, not photographing it.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
