However if the webmaster/photographer does not file for a copyright or register for a copyright then the web site and web master are not protected in court if someone was so copy the photos and material. : : If this is true... does that mean that CNN and online newspapers register every photograph they put online and every photograph they put in the newspaper? : : Really Confused? When does a photo or story become lawfully copyright, where if someone copies it they can sue them in court for damages and for remediation. : : Thank you for all information, sort of arrived at a stall as for as my research is going. : : --John : Dear John, : Even the Intellectual Property Lawyers are not familiar with the situation. : M.
