Can someone help with the basic legal position?
There is no need to get too legally “heavy” into the subject as all I am seeking are the general guidelines
Accepting any legal agreement to the contrary, is
Film
Presumably if you have the negative, either by taking the shot or buying it, you own the copyright to the image
Digital
How does this work with digital? Presumably if you took the shot and have the original digital file you own the copyright to the image. What happens if you send the original file to another person or body and a can a dispute arise?
Are there step one should take to “embed”, if that is the correct word, the file with some kind of info that cannot be removed?
Prints that you purchase
Can you legally reproduce these and display them
Thanks
