Also thanks to all those who have supported this thread and shown their support for the photographers amongst us.

The people who were breaching copyright have now either paid up or removed their images.

But remember guys big brother is watching you!

I dont want to stir up trouble...I am just genuinly interested, but do you not need the concent of someone to take their photograph and post it up on the internet in the first place?

now technically speaking if you are providing a service which is authorised by the event organiser you can take pictures of any of the players. However if a player asks you to remove his/her pictures from the site you must comply. But seeing as most ballers are vain at the best of times this does not normally apply.

It does get tricky if there are players below 16 years of age as you need a parents of guardians permission to even to take their picture, but again as mummy or daddy want their kid to be happy consent is freely given

hope that clears that one up

Not quite sure you are totally correct there Dan on a couple of points, but we will leave it at that.

Some basic points to remember about UK Copyright Law:

(Note:- This is only a summary of copyright law)

• No copyright photograph may be copied without the permission of the copyright owner.
• Photographers hold copyright in their own work unless agreed otherwise.
• The situation is different for employed photographers who create work in the course of their employment, here the copyright belongs to the employer.
• Photographers have the right to assert their moral right to be credited as the author of a photograph.
• Photographers have the right to object to treatment of their photograph which distorts, mutilates or is otherwise damaging to their reputation.
• Copyright duration is usually 70 years from the end of the year in which the author dies.
• It is the responsibility of the user / publisher to check that they have permission, are within the terms of any licence, or are acting within the fair practice or other permissions granted by law.
• Unauthorised copying of a copyright image or photograph or failure to give credit are infringements of law and as such can be subject to criminal sanctions such as a fine or imprisonment or civil sanctions such as claims for damages, accounts, delivery up or injunctions precluding one's use of the images.
