School Performance photography - can they do this?

Nobody is supposed to be allowed a camera/video device in the theater during performance. However, we know that this does not occur.. I hear and see snapping during the entire performance. Recently, a person has taken the photographs and offered them 'for sale' on the Internet. This has offended me and the school system involved. Can they do this? It makes me think that if this is the case I'll go to a wedding and photograph and offer the photos for sale to the bride and groom for less than the official photographer.. (never would-kidding) I follow a rule of ethics... ;) Regards Z So your ethics are that mums and dads cant take pics of their kids performing? Stopping them is a real ******* act. Not many can afford to pay just to get pics to send to grandparents or keep for memories etc David |

The parents of the "performers" would have standing to object to images of their minor children being sold. Generally, weddings are not open to the public, so an uninvited person would not be permitted to photograph the wedding. You could photograph the wedding party when they come outside the church and cross the line onto public property. But I suspect sales of such limited images would be nil. |
