Re: Photography Copyright
You need to: mark your photos as protected by a copyright; register them with the copyright office; add to your contract with the buyer the terms of their usage (eg. one time use; exclusive rights etc.). Make the effort now to properly protect your photos so that if they are then sold you will have a copyright claim against the responsible party.
