a lawyer doesn't need to be involved if he was a civil person. but he's just being an arse probably cos he is boning lauren and she wants her pics to stay up

well if a lawyer has to be involved then im gonna have to forget it all. i did try, it was a polite request to remove the photos at first but he started being a cock. i'll let him be and leave her happy.

A lawyer probably wouldnt be involved .. hes just using a scare tactic to get u off his case ..

hiya mate we spoke to our lawyer today and both parties have spoke to lauren.... As you sent the pictures to lauren as a gift.. then the law says say can do as she wants with them! Also.. He is getting touch with Southgate House London, to see when you paid for the coypright.. so as soon as that is done.. and when we get a letter off ur lawyer (with headed paper) action will be taken! many thanx

to prove copyright you have to prove original works. the law IN AMERICA states that you have to copyright by paying an agency. over here you can prove copyright in music by simply sending yourself a CD of the original works via special delivery, getting a reciept and a date of originality.

now with pictures (to which the same copyright laws apply) you can prove original works with many other ways. one being original data information such as you have already mentioned, and the data from your camera proving that it is your camera that the pics were taken with.

so basically, unless you live in america, you dont have to pay to get a copyright, so long as you can prove that you did it first in a very convincing way. my advice would be to tell the bloke to fuck off, and then prove that you own the pictures by virtue of the GREAT BRITISH laws regarding the subject. im sure mag can find the applicable laws

The paying stuff is a bit different. That's normally for companies to use their original artwork/material for their business, so the paid copyright is a registered copyright or a registered trademark for a logo etc.

This means lots more legal stuff.

But basically it comes down to proof of original ownership. Agreed, its best to be registered etc or market, but there used to be a process where artists would seal a copy of their own work in an envelope and thenm send it to themselves, and not open it, so it was datemarked by the post office. With electronic publication the dates andstuff are stored on the jpeg, this is a bit more of a grey area, but he's just being a wanker, basically.

Bottom line is that without legal representation there isn't a lot you can do, however you migt wanna start posting the pics just about everywhere in the world, just to spite her.
