Copyright and Wedding Photos

[OrcaBob]

Someone in the old boards asked a very legitimate question as to who owns the copyright to wedding pictures. The responses caused a fracas and induced one unnamed respondent to -- how shall we put it? -- short-circuit into a psychotic meltdown.

As comical as that episode was, I'll repost the link to a very enlightening article to you folks... you far, far saner folks. ;D

The author of the article is a copyright attorney who contributes regularly to the Stanford Law Library.

Anyhow the article should be helpful. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this Bob. It could potentially be an issue for those brave enough to get into wedding photography. I'm just certain that my first experience would be a clip on Bridezillas.

That's the way I understood it, although many people have disagreed with me. It's good to see it in print.
Thanks for the link.
