From Ken Rockwell's site:
"it's even illegal to go out and try to make the same picture for commercial use! For instance, in August 2003 Getty Images settled a copyright infringement case against DJ Fatboy Slimâs record label for $25,000. Getty said the cover art for the album "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars" was unlawfully derived (idea copied from) from an Ernst Haas photograph "Sunset Silhouette" that the record company decided not to license from Getty."
What do we think of this? Do you guys as professionals (those who are) even subscribe to the fact that you own composition beyond the photo itself?
What rights do you keep and sign over to clients when handing them prints.. do you EVER give them the electronic original?
I thought this was an interesting comment. Ken, if you read this, I am not doing this for financial gain, I am using it to promote discussion, please don't fine me.. ken... ken, what are you doi... ... .. NOOOOOOOOO......................
