Legal Question in Consumer Law in United States Minor Outlying Islands

Re: Copyright question

A few things.

(1) You have basically just made a copy of the DVD cover, so the owner of rights in the DVD cover also has some rights in your photograph;

(2) You, as the photographer have rights to that specific photograph and any copies made of it, but you cannot prevent someone else from taking a photo of the DVD cover;

(3) If you took a photo where the DVD cover happens to be in the background but is not the subject of the photograph, then you are probably in the clear.
