There is a two page thread over on the equine BB i help moderate, that started off well intended, and has now, as anticipated started into the copy right issue, brought up by some upset Mom who thinks it is ok to lift proofs from websites and post on facebook etc.
She claims, and say's she has a copy right book by her side, that because the photos are taken at a public event, in a public place with out consent of the riders.(we have the consent of the park owners) that the photographer holds no copyright and if we do not post a no right click or water mark on the photo(most of us do the latter) then they are fair game. Any comments on this. This is for Canadian shows, but i'll assume most portions of law would hold true in the USA as well. FWIW, most of the bigger known photographers have held back any replies.:-) Dave -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ Ontario Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
