The serial copyright infringer "Prince" has been taking shots off Instagram, putting a few words on them, then making large "art" prints and selling them through a gallery to rich idiots who pay $90,000 or so.
Is this the artist formerly and still known as Prince, or is this someone stealing his name too?

ARE WE BEING PLAYED OR WHAT?
Alyn did not need us to tell him to read the U.S. Copyright Law, he should certainly able to do that on his own. What a waste of time for all of us.

lamiaceae,
Agreed, with all the :thumbdown:s There are some folks in this world who would rather let others make decisions for them, rather than research for themselves and make their own decisions.

You have been a "photographer" for over sixty (60) years?
However you did not know that Using someone else's work was not a good thing to do?
That is like a Priest did not know that having sex with an underage boy was wrong.
AND - you stated that you are (were) an "editor"?
Excuse me....
One more credit to your list is Idiot.

Recently I took some photographs of some beautiful scenery being shown on the television.
Can I claim "ownership" and enter them in a county fair photo contest? Is there a problem with copyrights? I "doctored" them quite a bit, so they are not precisely the same.
THANK YOU.

Other than legalities and your total lack of ethics, photos taken from TV have to suck no matter what you did in editing and you couldn't pull it off anyway.

I asked the chairman of the show; she saw no problem as far as rules are concerned.

I would say that even when altered you have some major issues with copyright law. It is unlikely that the production company would ever pursue it unless you stand to profit from it, but they could.
At the very least they would have the right to be compensated for their production expense. This would include editing expenses, wages of technicians doing the editing. Travel expenses and wages of videographers.
Now you need to consider all advertising that occurred during the viewing of the original T.V.. You took for free what they paid to get, even if it was just a fraction.
Ask yourself an ethical question as well. Do you really want to take the hard creative work from someone else, alter it and then claim it as your own? I know that some people may not see it like that. It seams harmless, but it's similar to cheating off of a test and accepting a higher grade.
That's my opinion anyway....
