Copyright - Beware Unauthorised Use of Your Images

Bath UK photographer Emma Delves Broughton has won a case at the Patents County Court in London against online latex fashion retailer House of Harlot for use of one of her images dating from 2005 on their website without permission.

Emma had approached the retailer to negotiate a settlement prior to taking legal action but House of Harlot refused to even discuss the matter. Emma had asked for £3600 to cover the standard NUJ usage rates but House of Harlot had insisted they wouldn't pay a penny.

The judge found in Emma Delves Brougton's favour and awarded her £2123 plus interest (if it's at 0.5% base rate it won't make her rich!)

The case shows the importance of any company using images to ensure that they have the appropriate permissions to use them. Invariably the photographer is the only person who can grant permission; a model does not normally have any rights to allow others to use the photos of them. Our pictures have been used by magazines in the past and they have settled without the need for legal action to be considered.

Cheap Nikon D800 DSLR Cameras

Are you looking for a cheap Nikon D800 DSLR Camera? The Nikon D800 is the highest pixel count DLSR camera currently available other than medium format cameras and has had huge demand.

Websites such as SLR Hut may sell the Nikon D800 but you have no idea what you are getting or the final price. The price of the D800 is very much lower in the USA even taking into account the exchange rate. On Amazon.com the D800 is listed at $2999. On Amazon.co.uk the Nikon D800 is listed at £2599.

With the $/£ exchange rate at 1.6 this would give the dollar price as £1874. Even with VAT at 20% this is still £2249 which is a saving of £350 off the UK price.

At the moment these are academic as the D800 is in such demand that it seems to be unavailable everywhere but worth looking into once availability improves.
