Fiestacruiser Posted September 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have read that you may email Carnival to get the copywright on the pictures your purchased on the cruise. Do I email Carnival directly, or is there a specific email for this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack109 Posted September 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I just emailed customer service. I never received a copy of the release so I called them and they said that they would email it to me. Never received it. I called again and they sent it via snail mail in a couple of days. The letter states that you can only use it for one copy and can only be used for souvenirs (sp) such as a mug or mouse pad. I took my pictures to Walmart made a few copies and they never even asked for the letter. Hope this helps Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzfan34 Posted September 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2006 How can they possibly stop you from making copies of pictures that you own? If you have a printer and photo paper at home, you can print as many copies as you like. Problem solved. But I did go to Wal-Mart and they didn't say anything.

NY Eric Posted September 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2006 How can they possibly stop you from making copies of pictures that you own? If you have a printer and photo paper at home, you can print as many copies as you like. Problem solved. But I did go to Wal-Mart and they didn't say anything. Just because you purchased a print of a piece of artwork, doesnt mean you own the original photograph. You wouldnt legally be able to resell that photo (not that anyone wants pictures of me at my cruise dinner) It's the same as when I buy a CD - I own the CD and the copy of the song - but I don't own the song. I cant go around selling the song - the artist or the record company own the song. I'd be locked up for piracy if I tried to do that. So theoretically carnival could stop you by using the law. In practice - who cares. Piracy laws havent stopped me from putting my favorite song on my ipod, my sisters ipod and making a copy of the CD for my wife. Its all a bunch of legal junk!

cruisinbuddy Posted September 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Some people acctually believe that Carnival puts some sort of electronic coding or water marks on the pics, and only photo developers can remove. Bu$$#&^t. Make as many copies as you want If you feel that you're breaking the law you're not. They don't have picture police running around and searching your house for a 'copy' of a picture. Or how about them searching your parents house for a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUtraveler Posted September 22, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2006 cruisinbuddy is right on. Also when you consider that some will take pictures of the pictures and not buy them, the whole copyright thing becomes funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted September 22, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Here is the sign in the photo gallery We know that you love your photos and want extra copies. Only Carnival can give you quality prints from your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted September 22, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2006 some will take pictures of the pictures and not buy them, the whole copyright thing becomes funny. Or bring a portable scanner and a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Toungue in Cheek" Not only does a watermark appear on a scanned photo but a chip in inbeded in the photo calls the FBI and other interested parties.

You wouldnt legally be able to resell that photo (not that anyone wants pictures of me at my cruise dinner) That is exactly my point. Does Carnival actually think that I can make money off of the copies I make? I want them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeyer418 Posted September 22, 2006 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2006 There is practical considerations and legal ones. as long as you are making a copy for you own use(or giving it to a friend or relative), the law of copyrights probably doesn't matter. If you want to use the picture in some sore of publication it probably does matter...Bottom line for personal use go ahead for commercial use you need the permission of the copyright holder----the person who took the picture unless he/she assigned the rights to someone.
