Hi all,
New to the world of professional photography.
I recently shot a gig and posted the photos on Facebook.
This resulted in one of the bands reediting some of my work and reposting the reworked photos.
When I asked them to remove the images in question they refused stating that they had to the right to reedit them.
On the grounds that the photos were of them and I hadn’t “stressed” otherwise.I’m of the opinion that I hold full copyright to my work. All the information I can find online points to this.
Can anyone here provide information or a helpful link where I can find all relevant photography copyright information?
Especially in relation to reediting.Thanks in advance.
Usually you would have ownership of your photos. If you shot them while in the employ of someone else, like a paper, they would probably own them. If you did not have permission to shoot the gig I do not know. Maybe the band had an arrangement with where ever the gig was. They edited them on the grounds they were of them you hadn’t stressed do not edit? Had not stressed this where, on facebook? I doubt if they band could do that.
If you took them you own the copyright but you could not use the image to endorse a product, say in an advertisement. You could have it say published in the paper provided you had permission to be at the gig and maybe even if you didn’t. Some gigs say no photos so I am not sure if that was the case.
But I am not a legal personAnd see here https://www.digitalrights.ie/photographers-rights/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
You do know that anything you upload to face book is more or less the property of facebook as they can licence them as they wish.? Some like to say this is not so but the T&C’s say it is.
I would be interested to know how you get on

It is clearly not so. Unless you have specific T&Cs that are not the same as those for everyone else on Facebook.
In short, anything you put on facebook is still your copyright property. Facebook simply have a license to display and use, in conjunction with Facebook.
The actual text from Facebook T&Cs –
You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License).
Clearly from this, it does not make things you post their property.

I said more or less the property of face book. You have the copyright but they can licence it anywhere for payment. So copyight is not much good to you. I do not have fb or want it i was making the op aware of this
