English law depends on precedent. To the best of my knowledge there is no precedent in English law to show the link between ownership of a RAW file and a TIFF. Perhaps you know differently. All the people who breach copyright are devious bastards and the lengths they will go when money is at stake would surely include faking a RAW file?
Having spoken to the photographer who established the strongest case law regarding film ownership I know that it cost him a great deal of money, heartache and risk. The amount in dispute was �45,000 earnings from a news agency picture. If someone is cheating to that extent they will fight in court.

If you save the RAW file and send only TIFFs or JPEGs for reproduction, can
you not use the RAW file to make your case if the ownership of the copyright
is disputed?
