well after finally getting through all the pages, I just have to say that I'm sorry the pictures weren't what you were expecting or should ahave expected. If you have rights, as long as you have your release then you can scan your images in and share them to your hearts content. If you didn't pay for the rights, then you have no right to scan them in any manner, even for personal use. It's a common misconception of photography law. That's why a lot of photographers will sell high school seniors a file to use on their myspace, so they can share it. They can also get pictures removed from myspace if they don't have the photographers release to use it. It is not
the law that you can scan it or print it so long as you are not making a profit from it.
Q: If I buy a photograph or painting from a photographer or an artist for display purposes, can I use the image for any other purpose?
A. No. Mere ownership of a photograph, a painting or any other copyrighted work does not convey any right to copy or to use the work other than for personal use. For instance, a painting can be hung in a home or office but, absent permission, it cannot be copied, reproduced or used for any other purposes.
The law provides that the transfer of ownership of any material object that is protected by copyright, does not of itself, convey any rights to the copyright. For example, the purchaser of a copyrighted photograph, painting or poster, intended for display purposes, does not acquire any right to copy, reproduce or use the work other than for its intended purpose. Even if one were to purchase an original portrait that was specially commissioned, the purchaser would only be able to frame and display the work. Unless the parties otherwise agree, the artist owns the copyright and the work cannot be copied or reproduced. Thus, without permission, the subject of the portrait cannot even make a holiday card from the painting. Similarly, no one can photocopy an entire book without violating the copyright ownerís exclusive rights in the work. In fact, radio stations and jukebox operators have to purchase licenses to broadcast or play music even if they own the records they are using.
8) "Oh, so copyright violation isn't a crime or anything?"
Actually, in the 90s in the USA commercial copyright violation involving more than 10 copies and value over $2500 was made a felony. So watch out.
Copyright is still violated whether you charged money or not, only damages are affected by that.
I want to make copies of my photos. Does my photographer really own the copyright of his/her pictures? Do I still have to pay the photographer if I make the copies myself at a copy shop?
Yes and yes. According to federal law, images produced by a professional photographer are copyrighted the moment they are created. Federal law prohibits copying or reproducing copyrighted material without permission from the owner of the copyright, i.e., the photographer. If you copy or scan your photos, the photographer should be paid just as if you were buying reprints. If you or your videographer transfer the proofs to videotape, the photographer should be paid just as if you were buying reprints. If you don't feel comfortable paying for these copies, find a photographer whose work is so good that you are glad to pay.
I am a paralegal but I don't deal with copyright laws. I just sue people that get into car accidents.
