To what extent can I use pictures of my kids that I didn't take?

You need to look into the terms of the contract that existed between you and the photographer.\n\nWhen a photographer takes a photo they own the copyright to it, just as happens when anybody creates any sort of work in tangible form be it writing, a movie, a painting or a photo.\n\nOften when someone commissions a person to produce a work on their behalf the person doing the commissioning does so on the understanding that they will have copyright of that work.\n\nThe fact that they're your kids doesn't have any bearing on the matter.  \n\nFirstly you should check through any smallprint and see what that says.  In the absence of any terms or conditions then approach the photographer and see what she has to say regarding ownership of copyright.  You caould always state that you hired her on the understanfing that you would be granted copyright.\n\nUntil things are resolved I woundn't go selling the prints.\n\nI hope you manage to get things sorted - good luck.

Uhhh who cares?  Did you start a child porn ring during you trip and have them take pictures? Then you might want to be a little worried.

if you cut open the bottom of the photo on the white part you can open it and make a pocket to hide things. so no they are not allowed. Try regular photos.

You can have them burned to a disk and then you just get them off the disk. If you take your old photgraphs to Wal*Mart, they will put them all on a disk for you. I have done this with a number of older photos that I have no negatives for so that I could use them in my scrapbooking.

As far as I'm aware, there's no law on the books in the United States for that kind of thing.. the only picture issues you might have are generally copywrite infringment

Legally, yes. However, he would need a signed model release to use the photos for any commercial (non-journalistic)venture.\n\n(Decency, however, would dicate that he/she ask for permission. If you are concerned, simply confront him/her. A photographer may have simply found the scene very artistic (kids having fun are a joy to photograph) and decided to take a few shots. If you talk to him/her, chances are that he/she would even share some of the resulting shots with you.)

Yeah, from your vague description "a bit of my own pictures", we can't tell if you're a photographer, a sketch artist, an oil painter, a porn star wanting to 'exhibit' yourself, or a person studying his genealogy who wants to feature a set of family photos from various generations.  Hard to name it without some idea what it is.

Ultimately you have to give credit where credit is due.  Many sites will tell you that you can use the pics if you give them credit.  Others will say absolutely no.  Many school projects fall under fair use and would allow you to use the pics as long as you do not plan to profit from the use of another persons copyrighted material.  \n\nEmail the person that owns the site, get permission and say you used it and you have permission in the project.

my friend screening wont help you. Screening just means that they HAVENT BEEN CAUGHT yet. You wanna good place, find someplace that has internet cameras and a password site that allows you to log in and SEE the daycare anytime of day that you want to. Because when people KNOW theyre being watched, they arent as prone to hurt your child who is too young to even KNOW its being hurt - anything an adult does they assume is correct because THATS an adult. Most kids wont even realize what has occured is wrong and you will never hear about it.\n\nFind one with password protected cameras so that only those who are parents of those who attend the facility can view the images, theyre are many.\nALSO find one that allows you to SHOW UP UNannounced.\n\nALOT OF PLACES act one way when they know youre coming by and then when youre gone, become Mr. Hyde.

You can ask them, but you have no right to try to continue to persue if the other child says no. I suggest asking your daughter to ask for the pictures herself, then you guys can make copies and each have pictures for your respective albums, yadda yadda.

Convieniently sneek one of the pictures and leave it where the father can find it.\n\nNo..that would be wrong. \n\nAll you can do is listen. A really good friend is a listening friend. If she actually starts making plans to follow through, then a really good friend is one who protects a friend from themselves. Tell the parents yourself.

You can, but they'll confiscate it.  The first rule they tell any one is no cameras.  Since he's been there, he's taken an official photo that he will be able to purchase.  Once he's in AIT, he can have all the cameras he wants, but no cameras at basic.

the images are copyrighted, so there are limits on how you can use them for public and private use

get them on video camera first. Then you have proof, and the parents can see what little shits their kids really are.
