Hi,

Mine too. It's almost impossible to find material (other than the recently-sold-on-ebay CD) which isn't drowned by some godawful heavy metal. Makes literary research a complete bear.

Often not in the case of photography; I was recently working on a feature film where the gaffer shot a load of stills and managed to sell them to the production company. I think this just comes down to the AOP having better lobbyists on board when the laws were drawn up!
Needless to say, I have no idea what the military rules are regarding this.
