IP and Copyright

[kneeshooter]

Sometimes I despair of people. The bottom line is that if you care about having rights and control over anything original you produce then at least have a basic understanding of the issues.

Gah.

Which reminds me, I must post "Simon's view of Photographic Copyright 101" soon.

IIRC, the copyright belongs to the person who takes the picture unless you then transfer license or otherwise relinquish those rights. If you've got control of that little © then you can put that picture up down left or right, or deny the putting of it how you like (barring certain restrictions, like pictures of willies in angry mode, children in the nude and the suchlike) The model has some rights regarding portrayal and profit, but not many compared to you.

Of course, creative commons and so on then change that around, and quite a lot...

Indeed. There is some devil in the detail though, especially with respect to performances which is the focus of my interest.

I await the publication of your guide to hellcopyright law with interest...
