Fairly sure I'm safe here, but it's an interesting situation. I am not commercially licensed, and do not take photos/video with the intent that they be used commercially.
I took this photo in Edinburgh (United Kingdom) - Colin Burn-Murdoch on Instagram: “More #hdr #drone photos of #edinburgh”
It's been reposted, with attribution, but without asking permission or any payment, by a Hotel/Restaurant that appears - The Edinburgh Grand on Instagram: “If you are looking for cental locations, it doesn't get much more prime than this. The Edinburgh Grand boasts a much sought-after address…”
I feel that classes as commercial use. In the circumstances, I don't think I would be in any trouble, but would they be for using a non-commercially taken photo commercially?
In any case I'm not going to make any fuss with them, but I'm curious if there's any rules broken and by who/how.
