Photography Tips : How Do I Copyright My Photography?

[brickflowtube]

You automatically own the copyright on all the works you created, you don't even have to put the (c) on it. And no, you don't lose it wherever you post it, that is nonsense. So for that reason, I completely lost you when you suggested paying a fee to copyright something that is automatically copyrighted the moment it was created. If you have the original raw/neg image, you can always prove your ownership, dead simple. Also, it's impossible to enforce copyright online. I say use Creative Commons.

How come when they find a new photo of like Hitler or something they own it? Hitler has been dead for 60 something years!!! and Hitler never copyrighted his photos when he was a baby!!!

You said it costs 30 dollars to copyright a photo and you can copyright as many images you want for that 30 dollars. Let's say that I copyright a photo now, I would have to pay the 30 dollars now. If I wanted to come back say a month later would I have to pay the 30 dollars again or is it only a one time fee for me?

If you do register your art with the US Copyright Office then you can go after the infringer with attorney fees, damages and multiples of of the fee you should have received if it was properly licensed by the infringer.

Here's the deal with copyright registration in the United States. Your art is automatically protected without registering your art with the US Copyright Office. However, if you do not have it registered and your work is infringed (stolen or used without your permission) then all you can expect to receive from the infringer is what you would have received had it been properly licensed.

okay, so i took a picture of my moms friend and her kid at a picnic and posted them on my facebook and she took it and made prints of it without my permission. is that illegal or was it my fault because facebook is a free for all?

[SuperSoko1987]

@crystalxrawr you lost your rights as soon as you posted to facebook.

I just talked to an "Intellectual Properties" lawyer and they assured me that we can copyright any book or portfolio that we create. I forgot to ask if this could be done with digital files over the internet. But in this day and age I would figure it would be a popular method. Saves work on both ends, the US Copyright Office end as well as on our end..

thanks, excellent video

i`ve read that any piece of art (books, music, movies, photos etc) made after 1989 is automatically copyrighted.

@jack2breeze

yeah but if someone steals it and gos and gets the copyright on paper they own it then you have to go to court and fight for it. you'll probly win but its gonna cost you money to go to court

[jack2breeze]

bottom line GET IT ON PAPER.

[TERRANCIO]

@jack2breeze yeah, but you have to show proof if required...

if you have your original file with metadata and all, even without the © symbol, you have proof, so suppose someone takes your image off online and removes the © and uses your picture, then you have the proof and he is going to pay you, you can even take his house and wife, not the kids, that's another issue!
