It's an interesting situation. As Stan says, thinking about who wins is quite an enlightening exercise. Who would want a law like this? Somebody must do, otherwise we wouldn't be getting it, so what do they stand to gain? So if, say, an unscrupulous international picture agency simply starting tr

Even large corporations couldn't be happy with this, download a copyrighted work with full information imbedded, upload to face book, download it again and it's laundered. The only protected works are those so well known that their provenance is indisputable. On 5/2/2013 8:52 AM, Stan Halpin

I see this effect quite often from the buildings in Canary Wharf, which is a forest of tall buildings across the river from here. On film (so to speak) it looks most effective when the subject is backlit and the reflections really do act as a fill light. B On 2 May 2013, at 07:39, Larry Colen
