Copies, Ownership, and Copyright The benefits of the new reproductive technologies is that computers and digital imaging have made the possibilities for reproduction and ownership of images virtually limitless. The possibilities for reproduction of any image are highly contingent on the legal management of images.

Copies, Ownership, and Copyright Continued… Copyright – taken literally, means “ the right to copy.” The term refers to not one but a bundle of rights. This bundle includes the rights to distribute, produce, copy, display, perform, create, and control derivative works based from the original.

Copyrights Copyright grants legal protection to the “expression of an idea,” not the idea itself. The fixed expression is deemed to belong uniquely to someone – the photographer, writer, painter- who created it. The word copyright suggests a policy that grants the rights to copy. When in actuality, it regulates and restricts copying.

Reproduction and the Digital Image The most widely discussed difference between conventional and digital photography concerns what happens after the take, before the print is struck. Anyone with a digital camera, a home computer, and a cable can download images not only to print them but also to copy them into programs in which they can be edited.
