And yet if photographing a model, who one would assume not to be concerned over their privacy during the shoot, the first thing you do is ask them to sign a model release form and basically end the shoot if they won't. However, when photographing a wedding copyright of the photographs actually belongs to the photographer on the bais that he can sell you further copies. Government and privacy laws are basically to protect celebrities from the paparazzi nothing to do with protecting the ordinary citizen. In reality you need model and building release forms in case of claims of copyright infringement. This is an interesting read though it is 4 years old.

As to the point of new business models Banksy seems to have found a pretty good one ;)

More legal would have been to remove all the crap-ware and make a backup image of that; which is what I did :)

What the hell has privacy got to do with it? We aren't discussing privacy.

Actually, I don't think the copyright laws are the reason for that. The government has, over the last few years, changed various laws to give us more privacy. That is the reason for the waivers.

He didn't download a copy of Windows that he hadn't paid for. He bought a new laptop with a legitimate copy of Windows 7. However he didn't like the "customised" version that was installed on it, so chose to install a fresh version. He merely used his legitimate key to activate it.

And privacy has been brought up a couple of times during this thread.

Personally I thought the thread was about censorship and privacy but it quickly turned into a discussion about 'copyright theft', which hopefully some of the participants now relise is not an actual crime or really even a word.

I wonder how the people who believe in the term 'copyright theft' feel about boot sales where you can pick up genuine DVD's, let's not forget trading standards patrol boot sales, for 50p and sometimes even less? Today I bought 14 DVD's for less than £10 have I broken any copyright laws?
