freeflir29 0 #26 October 18, 2005 QuoteI googled it and it states that one must be informed that a photo is copyrighted, if it is not, then it can be used and copied at ones discretion. And you read this on the internet so it MUST be true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #27 October 18, 2005 I just found it, however that being said if such QuoteForm of Notice for Visually Perceptible Copies The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all the following three elements: 1. The symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright," or the abbreviation "Copr."; and 2. The year of first publication of the work. In the case of compilations or derivative works incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the compilation or derivative work is sufficient. The year date may be omitted where a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful article; and 3. The name of the owner of copyright in the work, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner. Example: © 2002 John Doe The "C in a circle" notice is used only on "visually perceptible copies." Certain kinds of works--for example, musical, dramatic, and literary works--may be fixed not in "copies" but by means of sound in an audio recording. Since audio recordings such as audio tapes and phonograph disks are "phonorecords" and not "copies," the "C in a circle" notice is not used to indicate protection of the underlying musical, dramatic, or literary work that is recorded. is not included one would have a hard time in a lawsuitSudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #35 October 18, 2005 Quoteit states that one must be informed that a photo is copyrighted not true, as soon as i press the shutter rlease on my camera and that picture is in memory i am theowner of that copyright... this has been discused to great lenght in the photography forum as to who owns te copyright and if it is required to register it with the copyright office......... as it is if alana commisioned the photographer to take pictures of her then she ownes the copyright, if she just paid the photographer because he hqappned to take some pictures of her then the photographer still owns the copyrigh.... this shit gets way more complex than you think it is..... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #36 October 18, 2005 The use of a copyright notice is no longer required under U. S. law, although it is often beneficial. Because prior law did contain such a requirement, however, the use of notice is still relevant to the copyright status of older works. Notice was required under the 1976 Copyright Act. This requirement was eliminated when the United States adhered to the Berne Convention, effective March 1, 1989. Although works published without notice before that date could have entered the public domain in the United States, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) restores copyright in certain foreign works originally published without notice. For further information about copyright amendments in the URAA, request Circular 38b. The Copyright Office does not take a position on whether copies of works first published with notice before March 1, 1989, which are distributed on or after March 1, 1989, must bear the copyright notice. Use of the notice may be important because it informs the public that the work is protected by copyright, identifies the copyright owner, and shows the year of first publication. Furthermore, in the event that a work is infringed, if a proper notice of copyright appears on the published copy or copies to which a defendant in a copyright infringement suit had access, then no weight shall be given to such a defendant's interposition of a defense based on innocent infringement in mitigation of actual or statutory damages, except as provided in section 504(c)(2) of the copyright law. Innocent infringement occurs when the infringer did not realize that the work was protected. ------------ Your reference is how to correctly affix a copyright. It doesn't say it is required to be copyrighted.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUDYJ 0 #37 October 18, 2005 WOW! You guys are a great research team!Now research the original need..of how to remove fingerprints..would it matter if you are taking fingerprints off copyrighted pics or not???

AndyMan 7 #39 October 18, 2005 Sorry Lisa, Copyright is automatically granted on any creative work the instant is produced. It does not need to contain any copyright notice unless the copyright has been registered with the copyright office. The confusion is that you do not need to register the copyright to have it protected. Registereing the copyright is an added protection. All creative work is protected by copyright regardless of whether it's been registered or not. Only registered work must have the copyright indicated. If you're interested in reading more, you can start here: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/. That said, as a photographer - if I sold a print to someone and they damaged it, I would certainly have no objects to them making a copy in order to repair the damage. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

SuFantasma 0 #42 October 18, 2005 Damn Right ! Talk about going on tangent ! Oh WAIT, She is going to need permition from each of the fingerprint owners, because the fingerprints are original works of art, and to boot, individually signed by each artist. Does she really has the right to just "wipe-out" their work ? How about if the photo could be subpoenaed in a Cout of Law? Will the act of removing the fingerprints will lead an obstruction of justice charge? Hmmm, this looks utterly complicated. Solution: Turn the fingerprint to the FBI, have them seize all the fingerprints and return the original photo to her !Y yo, pa' vivir con miedo, prefiero morir sonriendo, con el recuerdo vivo". - Ruben Blades, "Adan Garcia" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't read the whole posting managerie - but I will answer - rub them on your boobies. Then post pictures of the act so that we will be able to see first hand how that works for you. OR Have the other two Ohio Girls do it and again - post pics to let us see how it works.
