Proper attribution and copyright of picture?

Thinking of copyright for the previous post reminded me of something else I wondered about

You might want to cross post this to the Filker group; there are filkish lawyers who hang out over there and might be able to point you to the relevant statute.

Good advice, though it's pretty clear in this case -- the name and date stay the same, no matter who owns the rights. So the photos are copyright [year they were taken] [name of photographer].

The only exception is work for hire, which requires a written agreement in advance, so it doesn't appear to apply in this case.

Yeah, this wasn't work for hire, it was a standard "We do a photo shoot, you send me proofs, I pick some and order prints" type deal.

He was very surprised to be contacted about rights long after the fact. Most customers never bothered.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm finally back home after more work-related trips and catching up on things. So reposting that gets to be one of the catch-up things :)
