: : : Hi, : : : I would like to use existing photos to create video productions. There will be a fee for services depending on the extent of the projects requested. In other words, photos will be viewed through a video camera to set up a portfolio that will be shown to family and friends. : : Is this a copywrite infringement to view existing pitures through a video camera? : : Thank you : : Sarah G : Dear Sarah G, : This is my unresearched recollection of the law. : The law is a wild west show at this point. The photographer, unless there is a writing to the contrary owns the artistic rights. Copyrights exist on the creation of the work. No action can be brought until a copyright has been registered. Without a proper copyright notice on the work the infringer must be given actual notice. : M.
