I'm using Photopass pictures in a Shutterfly album...

[TandLMommy28]

Will Shutterfly question me at all on the special borders and all?

I was wondering if I need to include an extra page at the end of the album for that copyright "photo" they include on the CD. I'm pouring my heart and soul into this album, I don't want any trouble when it's done!!!

No, I've made a few shutterfly books with the photopass pics, even with the borders. No problem!

 

[TandLMommy28]

Thanks It's always good to hear that someone else has done it without issue!

Those pictures belong to you. You paid for them. You can do whatever you want with them.

while that last response is sort of true (you don't actually own the photos, but are granted non-commercial reproduction rights), the issue is that Disney elements are copyrighted and protected by the company and that's where the question of rights to reproduce can come into play.

that said, *most* locations usually just offer up a disclaimer stating that by using their service, you are agreeing you have the rights to do so. by now, photopass should be recognizable to most major institutions. i've only heard of walmart and a few boutiques raising a stink about it.

it's really not a publisher/photo printer's place to enforce copyrights, but some try to do so to cover their own butts

you can encounter the same issue if the photos look professional as well. even though you may be the photo subject, the photographer initially owns the rights unless they are transferred/sold or permission is given.

If they do stop production and need proof, then just fax in the permission page.

When I was printing some wedding pictures after FINALLY being allowed to buy the CDs (the photog had had a fire and was suddenly making the digital images and rights available to peope...the photog lost his OWN wedding pictures in the fire, yikes!), I wrote to mpix and they said they would need proof up front. But...they didn't. I just ordered the 8x10s and they never asked for the proof, they just printed them! But I have the permission slip to fax, should anyone ever need them.

I was passing by the photo department of a Walmart once and came upon an argument. The only line I heard was "they let me print them the last time". I just kept on walking.

It come with the copy right if you got the cd

That's what I thought. Someone please correct if that isn't true.

Yes as Bradk posted you get "non-commercial reproduction rights".

Which is on the CD.

I have done this many times from Shutterfly Snapfish and not a problem.
