Abstract

I do not think that there are many issues that divide the photographic community so directly based on age as that of copyright. Those whose careers were forged in the red lit darkrooms of the analogue world are in my experience the most vociferous - although not unique - and active in the protection of the copyright of their images. An issue that becomes almost impossible to control the moment an image appears online. I speak with many photographers still willing to fight the online battle, either by never posting any of their images within the digital environment, by posting them at extremely low resolution or by making their images unusable to others with large and obtrusive watermarks across them.
