Subject: RE: OT: Down the memory hole ...
In copyright law there is no automatic assignment. If the contract with
the
photographer does not explicitly assign copyright to the hirer then the
photographer retains the copyright.
In Canada, the law assigns first ownership of copyright. In the absence of
an agreement to the contrary, the copyright owner is the person who
commissioned the work.
The makes it interesting for TFCD shoots where the model contacts me about
shooting. Even though I provide the studio, the camera, the lights, etc, the
model is first owner of copyright because she approached me.
Unless I want to get her to sign her copyrights over to me, anyway.
