Re: Digital photo collections

Hi
Always interesting copyright, I once had the chance to speak to someone at a UK national museum, in the media section, and they said to claim copyright, you need the negative or you are able to produce paperwork to show you own the copyright.

It is a minefield, it is not your copyright if.....
you used your employers camera/film/time, etc.....
many military personel did.

I presume the company can claim copyright on the CD, as they converted the photos to digital.
Some people scan manuals and then claim copyright of the CD manual, using this reason,when they are not the original author of the manual.
cheers
