Re: Watermark on photo of a photo

[Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last time I sued somebody for infringement I netted about $55k. The guy had clipped a shot of mine from ADIP and faithfully copied it for a client which probably did not pay him enough to cover the fine.

Yeah you cant make a copy and then claim the copy as a new work. That is quit obviously a derivative work and depending on other things like if it is fully the subject and you try to say its yours.  Huhe huge fine. Deliberate infringement min $150,000

Don't know if this has been discussed before.

If you make a photo of an original photo, who owns copyright of the second photo? Is it ethical or legal to put a watermark on the second photo to indicate that it is "yours"?
