Photographers, for example, will need to worry about whether any of the objects in a picture they are taking are covered by copyright, in which case it may be necessary to obtain a licence to include them in the photo.

journalistic hyperbole - 99% of the time they are going to be covered under 'incidental inclusion' - this is only going to be an issue where the object is the primary focus of the shot
