A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Illegal Print (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I'm a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It's a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.

Does anyone now what's the best thing to do here?

Thanks!

What copyright laws apply in international waters?

Admittedly probably the country the ship is flagged in, ie something like Panama or Liberia.

No, the country the photographer is based and where he publishes his work. Which is Belgium, therefore the UE and application of copyright in the EU is automatic: you don't have to register anything.
