Bleeding copyright jobsworths....

[Sausage Surprise]

Had some photos from the hols of the kids that were taken in a theme park in Portugal. Mam and Dad asked for copies (was going to scan and print them myself but the colour cartridge on the printer needs replacing) so off I went to Boots.

Scanned them and selected the one hour service - went back to collect them and got the ******* Spanish Inquisition. Told me that as they were taken in a theme park then they were copyrighted to the theme park and it would be illegal to give them to me Told them I took them myself but they didn't believe me What a bunch of twats - I'll have buy the printer cartridge now

You could have tried the 'give me my f****ng photos you f******ng f***tard or I'll rip you a new a**hole' routine.

I find that generally works with spotty oiks in shops...

Get the Boots worker's name rank and serial number and ring head office.

Why would that be? Copyright generally rests with the creator of a work, or the sponsor/employer/buyer who has commissioned it. Arguably you might need permission to take photos on private property (though the idea can hardly come as a surprise to owners of a theme park), but after they have been taken, there is no doubt that copyright belongs to you. Permission and copyright are different things.

Typical jobsworth, quick to invent an imaginary piece of law that supposedly backs up his baseless interfering.

The copyright bovine tulip; sorry I realise my "it's not true" statement was fairly ambiguous, I am in no way claiming that your statement didn't happen.
