Hi Bill, Interesting question. I figure that firstly information including the time and date that the shot was taken is embedded in the digital file. It can be edited with some share ware tools however there are plenty of ways that you can be dishonest with film too. I suppose that if you provided a set of sequential thumb-nail images from the remainder of the shoot that would clinch it in a legal battle? One interesting exclusion in the current crop of digital cameras is that even though they write all manner of information into the file at the time of capture none provide an option for the camera owner/authors name to be embedded in the file. I wonder when this will become an option?
