Not quite sure if this is the right place, but do you actually require landowner permission to take photos and film underground in a cave on their land. I would have never thought to ask for permission because I did not think I needed it. I mean why would anyone be bothered? However, I have been asked (indirectly) by the land owner to remove all my media for this specific cave. Now I think this sets a dangerous prescident, if I agree, but on the other-hand there is a risk of a loss of access to this particular cave.
Where do I stand legally here? I don't think I should have to take them down, a cave is a natural feature it is not like the inside of a house and as I had permission to be there and has no copyrighted material except what belongs to me, so I can't see why I should have to take my images down from a legal standpoint. Google did not ask my permission to take a picture of the front of my house for example.
P.s. before anyone asks I can't say where (it will make things worse) and please don't guess.
