Re: Copyright and the Council
The copyright laws are quite clear. http://www.is4profit.com/business-advice/general-advice/copyright-basic-facts-about-copyright.html
If someone publishes a photograph without the permission of the person who took the photo, that is a breach of the copyright laws even if the photographer is credited with taking the photo. The content of the photograph is irrelevant even it is a breach of someone’s privacy. The privacy breach is different issue.
I wonder if people are aware that the copyright of your wedding photos is held by the photographer who took them and not the wedding couple, unless the photographer has sold you the negatives? Selling the negatives implies a transfer of copyright.
Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work (including a photograph) lasts until 70 years after the death of the author.
