Photography question, legal stuff - GoFuckYourself.com

What does the law say about taking pics of say, a coke bottle and then to sell it? I mean, not the coke bottle somewhere in the background, but it being the main focus. Or a camera picture on a webdesign, if I take a picture of my own camera (with another camera dumbass), and place it into a design of a tour where the 'logo' is visible or it's clear what camera it is etc etc.

Basically making money of pictures of another companys product.
'stock art' kinda way.

What he said. Plus if you use it in porn you are in deeper trouble.

Once shot a set in a bar, took us an hour to reverse all the bottles.

Just making sure

So basically everything trademarked should be cropped out of the image?
Where does the line go?

A girl wearing adidas clothes?
Girl in 'some known' victorias secret lingerie?
Sitting on a designer sofa?
Making dinner on a 'Braun' stove?

Posing on a ferrari?
posing as a photographer and using a canon camera?
etc etc?

How about at a car show, I take a pic of a ferrari on a display? Can I resell that image?

You have the law and you have the interpretation of it. Your questions follow the logic behind "fair use"
