Once again, I'm not a wedding photographer, nor an attorney of any stripe or ilk. Regarding who retains copyright on images created of weddings: Old school is that the photog retained the rights. This way they could use prints to advertise their work. With the advent of affordable digital images, though, many photographers are changing their business model, and often do send out CDs of image files. The client can print at home on their own printers, or take them to various automated photo print places.
Interesting note: Often those automated print machines you see in drug stores will refuse to print if there is a copyright in the EXIF data: Even if you're the one who took the photo and therefore owns the copyright! _______________________________________________ To post, send message to Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/religionlaw Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
