Sample Intellectual property release.

Does anybody have one they could share? I am selling my negatives for the

first time, and need to have a property release that I can give with the disc.

you know, the typical right to print, not sell.. etc. etc.

 

I tried searching, but came up empty.

check your e-mail.

I'd be interested in one also, if it's not too much trouble

nothing in my email :)

Are you physically selling actual negatives? Re <i>I am selling my negatives for the first time</i> <BR><BR>When actual original negatives or slides are brought into a print shop we might assume the customer now owns these, but maybe not the copyright, maybe so. <BR><BR>If a brides mom brought in the original negatives of her kids wedding would you expect a printer to know who owns them, the printer would think the negatives were sold with rights to copy them. Unless there are clues to follow up on ownership, many a original negative will get printed.<BR><BR>With digital inputs its more of a headache for a printer. Folks give clients unmarked files and discs with enough resolution to make a 16x20 print, that they think is "only good enough for a proof". <BR><BR>If your discs images are printed by a print shop how do you police the <i>"the typical right to print, not sell.."</i>? What if a customer asks us to print 100 prints of one image? How would a printer know there is a limit on the number of prints per image? What if the chap you sell the negative or image to has 1000 prints made and sells them on Ebay? or at a gallery? ; or places the image as a Torrent, or as an image on Kazza? <BR><BR>Ponder that a piece of paper that nobody is aware of is not going to police your images being used in the other side of the world without your knowledge. <BR><BR>The general public views the web as free source of images.
