Based on a remark made by Kathy in this thread, I have decided to post this rambling here.

Basically, I would let them do anything they like with the pictures as long as they don't violate my basic rights. But I actually don't know have a clue as to what my basic rights ought to be. I am not talking about a legalese definition of the copyright itself but about where one should reasonably draw the line.
Boy, oh boy! I'm finding it rather difficult explaning here clearly what I mean, let alone come up with any coherent answers <LOL>. Savvy?
Cheers,

This is something which has been on my mind recently. Obviously, around here we are all very aware of the copyright issues and the like. But how best can I let my friends/family/schools/charity orgs etc know that the pictures I took of them are actually copyrighted to me?... Now, I am not selling her the photos, but, I did not give permission to copy them either! Next time I am only uploading with a huge watermark on them.
