DISCUSSION
Another forum post has been made, this time addressing the views of modification among existing images:
"There has been a ruling in court that a photographer who partial recreated an image using the same angle and some of the compositional elements has broken copy right law. What do you think? Full story here: http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/-Landmark-ruling-to-be-challenged/25891 Looking forward to hearing your views!"
MY RESPONSE:
"This is laughable, especially over a technique
that’s so basic and flogged by amateurs. Its hardy a master piece to cry over.
I think everyone at some point in his or her lives has applied a similar technique
to a landmark, I know for a fact you can get tshirt, canvases, pillows,
anything for that matter with a variation of this image that’s being squabbled
over.
I agree with sophie (again) that maybe if
he had noticed his image before hand he should have referenced it, but then
again it’s a “re-cycled” idea! Alex makes a good point in countering credibility,
which can escalated to extortionate and time wasting level over virtually pettiness.
I cannot see my paths with photography and English
landmarks crossing at anytime soon, and even if they did, what a waste of a
degree! I would hope a paid education would have taught me to become more creative
and original then this."
