I received a call from her father today. He stated that because I was hired by him, I didn't own the copyright to her photos. He is demanding that I release the copyright. : : : Can I get a clear answer to give back to this man. He asked if I knew of a copyright attonery in my town, which he stated he didn't think so, but then I doubt he is qualified in this area. Thanks FF : : Dear Francis Farmer, : : Without taking professional responsibilty, it is my belief that unless there is a writing assigning you copyright rights, you own the copyright. : : The may be legal limits on the right to exploit the picture of another but that doesn't take away your copyright rights. : : Registration sets up the enforceability of this right. : : M.
