[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 481347, member: 24753"] Generally depends on whether it is a work for hire or not. If a client hires a photographer to take photos for a certain purpose or use, the client likely owns the copyright. If the work is more the creation of the photographer, then the photographer generally owns the copyright. Extreme example to make this clearer would be that an employee photographer in a studio owns no copyrights. There's some gray areas though. My guess is small claims court would likely not consider it as it being a federal law. [/QUOTE]
