[GreenKeys] WHOA! found huge size engineering drawing western union28 electrical sche

[Clay Archer]

I know it's drifting OT, but...
If you have a portrait made by a professional photographer in their studio
they can copyright the picture.  On the other hand, if you hire a
photographer (wedding or event) and pay them for their time it's generally
understood (or assumed) that they are your employee (or contractor) and
anything they photograph is your property.  You should always get this in
writing before the photo shoot.

I have had problems taking a digital photo into WalMart and having the clerk
refuse to give me my print because "it looks like it was made be a
professional in a studio".  Another store printed it without problems.

Hey Nic & al;

When the photographer took my wedding pictures (digital camera,
of course), and we got together a week later to go over them,
The final bill was like $900 for his work (about 4 hours worth),
and another $200 for the full set of prints. (might have been more
or less - I don't remember).

I told him I don't want the prints. All I want is either a DVD
with all the photos on it or access to download them to my computer.

Here we go: [P = photographer] [M = me]

P: I can't do that.
M: Why?
P: Because they're copyrighted.
M: ???
M: What do you mean, "they're copyrighted"?
P: They're my "intellectual property".
M: ???
M: I dunno about that. They may have been taken by you, but
    they are of me and my wife.
P: (blank stare).
M: Tell yah what: you give me a DVD and you save the time of
    printing all the pictures, and I save $200.
P: I can't do that.
M: (now I'm getting cranked-off).
M: OK - here's my final offer: If you don't give me a DVD,
    I'm NOT GOING TO PAY YOU, and since I haven't signed a release,
    if you publish the pictures I'll sue you into the next dimension!
P: (no comment).
M: (getting up to leave) Ball's in your court - and remember: I had
    plenty of friends there that were taking the important pictures,
    as well as the silly ones - and they'll give 'em to me for free.

Got my DVD.

Of course, I brought my laptop when I picked it up to make sure that
it loaded all the pix onto my HDD.

That might not work with FedEx/Kinkos - but it did work on him! :-)

UE,
W6ESE - tony
