Copyright in Photography
According to copyright a photographer can control copying , transmitting and reproducing pictures but Incorrect interpretations of copyright law and how applying it in the internet make much mistakes about photography copyright. Some of them mention in following:
• One of the more usual mistakes about photograph copyright is that a person took the picture ,did not pay money so there is n’t any infringement of copyright.it is obviously false and that can be judged in the court.
• Another common misconception is that photographer tags its name and an authorized © style copyright sign then it does not have copyright, it is incorrect in most of countries around the world and hasn’t been since 1989.The person took the picture is owner and his/her works has right of the copyright.
• One of the worst mistakes is that if photographer post his/her pictures in a public place such as internet so people can copy and use them simply.This again is not true .Just in the case that photographer state“I place these images in the public domain for free use by anyone” you can use the images.
Copy right laws simultaneously defend your pictures and avoid you take works of other people. Therefore you should pay attention when dealing with images on the internet.
