A few days ago, the Falcon 9 rocket was supposed to launch routinely, which was supposed to bring several satellites into orbit. However, an unusual problem arose. The company did not have the copyright for footage from space, or footage with the Earth as a background. SpaceX therefore issued an announcement shortly before launch that it would discontinue the live broadcast after reaching orbit.
The main problem is that under a 26-year-old law, the rights to image the Earth are held by the government's scientific agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Therefore, SpaceX had to apply for licenses for its cameras. But she did it so late and so the whole matter could not be followed through to the end. However, it is interesting that NOAA applied for its rights only after SpaceX celebrated the phenomenal success of launching the Tesla electric car into space.

are you kidding yourself? ? I'll probably get the copyright to film the Sun and dare to film it without permission and, God forbid, show it to anyone! ?♂️?
I think someone has already overtaken you :D
I'm counting on that, but I couldn't think of anything more absurd than this?
is the sun flat too?
I heard that the sun is a cube :)
The author of the article is an idiot. No copyright is involved. It's a security measure where US companies (and individuals) must get permission before releasing aerial or space photos of the US to the world. Most countries have a similar law and its existence is relatively understandable. SpaceX launches probably won't reveal much, so they shouldn't have a problem getting that permission. They just didn't know about it or didn't realize that they also needed it for what they were doing and said it too late. They didn't want to knowingly break the law until they got it. That's all.
Probably so that no one finds out that it is flat??
KoneI bear only one blazon.
I don't even think it's funny anymore, it's more sad... :D :DA if I take a picture of the moon, can I also publish its pictures with impunity?
Nobody lives there. ?
And NASA has written permission from all about 7 billion inhabitants of the planet?
Did you happen to translate the April Fool's article?
Such a piece of shit. I don't believe they couldn't be sent to hell even with rights. NO ONE can own the rights to take pictures of the Earth. Not even an American who's fucked up in the head.
It's that they don't have a license to film the country, not the copyright... That's a product of...
It doesn't really matter, it will come out the same
Well, even if it doesn't record sounds... OSA would catch on to it.
I'm claiming oxygen copyright ???
Will they be expropriated and then privatized?
Good crap
Every citizen has a choice. What if I find myself in some footage? ?? ?
It has absolutely nothing to do with copyright. The point is that photography from space is simply allowed only with the consent of a company authorized by law. In Slovakia, there is a similarly weak law that does not allow filming anything from the air - if you fly in a balloon, or pay for a tandem jump or a sightseeing flight and take photos, you should have prior permission from the traffic office, and then they must approve the photos minidefense chief. Because stupid legislation is not only a US specialty...
Does it really matter to me? ! :D
Google flat earth .. that's the reason why
What the hell is this??? Who usurps the right to space? Who usurps the right to photograph our planet? As if someone came to me to ask for fees for breathing oxygen, because he has the right to do so.
It's about insie.. for example, whether the earth is round or flat
I would like to know which institute granted NOAA a license and just for this... Even the poo stops stinking here....
Jakub Masek
That's pretty stupid..
Definitely that article.
It is mainly about bases, the deployment of defense systems and the like... it could be taken as espionage. That's why everyone who works on land must have a "contract"/permit about these things. It is the same as in Slovakia with filming from the air. Nothing amazing.
THANK YOU!
The article is a lie. It is not about any copyright on Earth, but about the obligation of American companies (and possibly individuals) to have permission to publish photos and videos of the Earth taken from space. It is a security measure, because such footage can potentially reveal the location of military and security equipment not only in the USA, but also in the world. There is probably no such threat with the current videos of SpaceX launches, and therefore they should not have a problem obtaining a license. They just asked for it too late, because they did not realize that this would also be needed, and they do not want to knowingly violate the law until the license is processed. That is all. Mychat Only an idiot could copyright that.
