I have a friend who is a freelance photographer-sometimes she features her copyrighted photos on her blog-but fears copying.Do the same copyright laws affect the photos she uses on her blog as it does the prints?Does she need to take out a specific copyright just for her blog photos?What rights does she have if the photos are copied?

I have (literally) hundreds of photos that i wan/need to copyright. I don't really know where to start... I know there is a fee, and I don;t know if i have to pay it for each photo or for the whole group. Can i send my photos to the copyright office on CD, or do i have to print them all out (what a hassle that would be!) HELP!!!

I have a free account, and I was wondering if and how I could copyright the photos that I own (the ones I took, and uploaded). And, if I have a private account, can people somehow "steal" my pictures? (That's why I want to know about the copyright)

I want to know how sports photo copyright works and if I can sell paintings that I make using photos from online. So for example, I painted Babe Ruth using a photo I found because I don't have any pictures of him. The painting resembles him but is in color would I still need permission from the photographer?

What are the copyright laws governing photos of politicians? I have taken photos of a politicians during a political rally. The rally occurred inside a stadium. Some of the photos have a billboard advertisement in the background, but other than that, there is very little, if anything that can identify the stadium.

I am not a professional photographer but I am photographing a local band that very possibly will "hit it big". How do I legally Copyright the photos I take that could later be used in the media?

I recently visited Jamiaca and took some beautiful pictures of the scenary and the people. I have decided to copyright my photograghs and poems. My question is: can I copyright the photos of random people in Jamaica at the Washington office though I have no consent forms from them? or are the pics just un-owned forever? thnx

Can anyone tell me of a website that will let me download copyright free photos of plants? I need photos of container gardens, hanging baskets, flower beds and all that good stuff. Thanks.

I've seen letters written across photos and on flickr most of the photos can't be dragged to a desktop, how can you do this for a personal website? thanks!!!

I am starting a free lance career and want my photos copyrighted. Any sources? Thanks.

I am using these photos for my photoblog and would like the photos to be copyrighted.

I'm interested in photography and opening a flickr, picasa, or etc., but I'd rather not have people taking credit for my photos. Does it automatically make my photos copyrighted if I just put the © symbol and the date, or do I have to do the whole registration thing for $35? Would it be easier to just upload my pictures with my own logo type of thing directly on the photo? Please help!

I've heard that you automatically own the copyright to photographs you take. But how can you prove this in court? If someone were to publish my photographs without my permission or claiming that they took the photos, how would I prove that I am the actual photographer?

I have a freewebs website but I want to put my artwork and photos on it. I want to make sure that they are copyrighted (which I don't know how to do and need to know how) and I also want to make it so no right clicking is allowed. How do I do this and do it all for free and is there a free website to do this on? Thanks. :)

My uncle bought some photos of a famous baseball player who has long since past away (baby pictures, baseball related pictures) at a state auction this past weekend. He plans to take them to be appraised and then to resell them and wants to know whether the copyright belongs to him since he paid for them. He doesn't want others to use the pictures for their own gain, I guess, while they're in his possession, or to put them up on the Internet. Thanks!

I've had an offer on the copyright to some of my photos (mostly sunrise and sunset pics here: http://www.myspace.com/celticpics under pics). However, I'm not sure if I retain *any* rights to my photos if I do and I'm really not sure how much to ask. They're not super-high resolution photos, but I believe they can be enlarged with little loss to quality, regardless. Does anyone have any input? Thanks!

What if someone is using your copyright photos from your website on their website? Is it hard to prove in court? I have notified this person and they have yet to take them down; this has been going on for more then a month now. I have reviewed the Federal laws on www.copyright.gov/title17. Any legal advise would be great on what I should do next and how I should handle this.

I am an amateur photographer and I am going to start printing some of my work on greeting cards and things like that. How do I copyright all my photos so nobody else can use them? Is a watermark good enough?

I am a freelance photographer, contracting with real estate company. The question is whether I have the copyright of those property photos taken by me? Coz I want to put them on my webpage.

i have a lot of photos tagged for deletion, most of them follow the guilelines. there are links to pages on copyright information but none of them are straightforward and they are vague. there are templates involved but I don't know what to do with them, how to fill them out, what to write.
