Just a bit more to add to my last post about copyright The document also
says the following;
"For photographs taken after 30 July 1998, the first owner of copyright in
photographs taken for "private or
domestic purposes" (e.g.; wedding photographs) is the client, unless the
photographer and client agree otherwise.
However, the photographer is the first owner of copyright in photographs
taken after 30 July 1998 for all other
purposes (e.g.:commercial shots), unless the photographer and client
otherwise agree. If you were commissioned to take photographs for a wedding,
or any other private or domestic use, your client will own copyright unless
you reached an agreement to the contrary. This means that your client, as
the copyright owner, has the right to reproduce the photographs whether from
negatives, prints or proofs."
"There is no system of registration for copyright protection in Australia.
Copyright protection does not depend upon
publication, a copyright notice, or any other procedure - protection is free
and automatic."
blah, blah, blah...
Wedding photographers in Australia beware! And ALWAYS have them sign some
sort of contract...
fairy.
