The laws and regs around this area are a nightmare and most non lawyers could easily be caught out. However, at least the CC tries to translate this. As for the gray area re: who has to have to have rights to publish, I would have thought the photographer should ensure this is sorted? They create the picture and made it publicly available so I maybe that is where the onus is? I'm lawyer but just thinking about it. E.G in the UK the person in the photo eseentially owns all the copyright unless they sign a release form because it is their image and they own that. Could easily be wrong so interested in other UK thoughts on this?? Cool post Ed Hi,

[/chop]... If you are using a browser other than the now infamous Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 and under, you can simply hit 'control' + '+' key. Conversely, font sizes can be shrunk using 'control' + '-' keys. Just be warned that some browsers (like Firefox) will simply boost the font size but retain the other website structure's size and integrity (which is what I personally prefer). Other browsers (like IE 7 or Opera for example) will scale everything (graphics included!). @ Brian, Great article. I really enjoyed it. Being paranoid, I simply keep images I shoot (and graphics I create) under complete copyright protection with all rights reserved. And as you mentioned, by posting images that are far less in resolution that their native maximum in-camera size, it makes 'theft for large printing purposes' more limiting. As far as I am concerned, if you don't want people making large prints out of images, don't offer them access to full sized shots posted on the net. I see many images posted in all their full resolution glory. This is simply an invitation to trouble IMHO. Being responsible on your end to help minimize potential damage is just as important as ensuring your work is properly protected from a legal standpoint. Great article! Keep'em coming! Cheers, NRG @ mr.bad eye

If you are using a browser other than the now infamous Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 and under, you can simply hit ‘control’ + ‘+’ key. Conversely, font sizes can be shrunk using ‘control’ + ‘-’ keys. Just be warned that some browsers (like Firefox) will simply boost the font size but retain the other website structure’s size and integrity (which is what I personally prefer).
