Hi tom I don't want to open Pandora's box of worms, but is there really an automatically given copyright on photos in your country? In Switzerland, a photo is not automatically protected, there was a case lately described in the main newspapers when a company had used a photo of Bob Marley from a live concert made from a professional photographer to produce Posters without his permission and without paying him. He wanted 75'000 Swiss francs (about 50'000 Euro)for the rights. He won only because the judges regarded the photo as exceptional well taken example and therefore as some kind of art. The copyright situation seems unclear here. If a photo is published in a book, it is protected. I you just give it to someone, I do not know....
