This is something that I've never understood, how another person can have the right to intrude in another's life and then plaster the image all over the place for everyone to see and to make a profit to boot.

Doesn't make sense to me.

Following on from that, yesterday I was speaking to a client who told me that she had been very busy all day printing and making Christmas cards for everyone ( the parish and family) using the photograph I had sent her by email of the portrait.

I jokingly said that she obviously hadn't read the small print then and had missed the rules about copyright!

Thinking about it later I was flattered that she wanted to use the image but this started me thinking about future work. This was a commissioned portrait so she would obviously only be sending the cards to close family and friends but what if I sell a figurative piece to someone and they use the image in the same way.

Do I still have copyright over the image even if they have purchased the original?
