Hi,
Just wondered if anyone may be able to answer this for me. I sent a picture of a nearly finished piece with my copyright logo at the bottom of the pic for approval to a customer last week.
I finished and sent the piece to a customer and she received today and sent an email saying how much she loved it. She has sent me a FB request sometime ago at the beginning of ordering and I had coincidentally accepted a week or so ago.
Just had a peek on her FB page and there is a picture of my piece, with a description saying hand made pendant in memory of ............ and with the copyright of her friend who took the picture at the bottom. Now looking at the friends FB page he has a few pictures with his copyright on it - thought not sure if pro or not as the actual picture of the piece is certainly less pro looking that mine (and I'm not great by any stretch) though appreciate silver is hard to picture if not used to it.
Anyway, it looks very much like it is his piece as no mention of the copyright being of the picture and with no mention of it being made by me, is it OK to photograph someone elses work and put a copyright on it without mentioning the copyright of the work is theirs. I have a feeling not - but been a while since I have looked into copyright. Something I feel strongly about and will never copy in any way shape or form, anyone elses work and expect the same.
Any thoughts on this please. Thank you
