Copywritten School Photo etc.

Postby blkblts » Wed Feb 28, 2007 8:39 am

I have seen slideshows at receptions and before the weddings. I always notice school pictures (which are copywritten matierial). I talked to the video person who put the show together and asked about copywritten pictures (wedding, school, senior portraits). I was told since there was only one or two they just scanned them instead of getting the original. Is this ok? Or is it like the whole music thing? Just wondering what others are doing...

Thanks a bunch.

Pretty much. If you ask a lawyer you pretty much can't do any of those things--well, probably not, under most circumstances, some may or may not fall under "fair use". As a practical matter, someone has to object and then do something about it.
