Are photos on blogs copyrighted automatically or do you have to copyright them?

Posted by admin on February 26th, 2010 and filed under photos | 2 Comments »

I have a friend who is a freelance photographer-sometimes she features her copyrighted photos on her blog-but fears copying.Do the same copyright laws affect the photos she uses on her blog as it does the prints?Does she need to take out a specific copyright just for her blog photos?What rights does she have if the photos are copied?

The best way I can answer is to direct you to the official government site:

http://www.copyright.gov/

Good luck!

    putting photos on a public domain such as the internet is a bad idea….I would suggest your friend look into a watermark that can be placed on her photos so that if anyone tries to print the photo and copy it, the watermark will show.
