How would he know who's photo it is. Like the Jimmy hendrix case he could argue his image is his trademark (his guitar does have a trademark) .For all we know it could be an image she stole from a website and is claiming as hers because there was no explicit  copyright when she stole it.

Drew Carey land&lt;br&gt;So she says she tried to Contact Brian May which she just needed to contact his management. I can get a hold of him in 2 phone calls. Friend of a friend he played on his album,played at the Queen tribute show in Wembley. He is an accesible rock star. She ruined a lot of the good will some bands have towards photographers by going for a fame grab to get her 15 minutes. problem is it kind of backfired.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Nov 2017 00:10:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618383206</link><description>&lt;p&gt;you do uderstand copyright and usage are 2 different laws. she has an implied copyright Usage must be explicit and contracted. she can only use the image for sditorial purposes without a release from the venue and subject. furthermore if Queen had a photographer there and they do any photos she took that are similiar to his are a derivative of his work as implied copyright is formed at the idea and prior to the shutter release meaning in order to get those releases the paid photographer can make her delete any images similiar to his as they violate his/her implied copyright and devalue his or/her work.&lt;br&gt;4 years of photography school which included 14 weeks of photography law currently work for an intelectual property lawyer&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 23:11:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618366169</link><description>&lt;p&gt;If you have never seen concert staff  remove film it is because all concerts pre cell phone prohibited you from bringing in a camera. I was at a Prince Concert with a Band  whose members are very close Friends with Brian May and my camera and film taken camera returned at the end of the concert. we all had passes but not photo passes.&lt;br&gt;A lot of Bands see photographers as leeches making money off of them so unless you are askes by a band to be there or with a news agency, photographs are for personal use only .posting to instragram means you have reproduced an image . she is a "photographer"that means she is using an image for promotion which could give her a monetary gain and has not contracted for usage of the image. Again usage and copyright being different things. Most people on this forum dont understand that&lt;br&gt;This women didn't protect her copyright as Brian May always gives credit when the photographer prints a proper copyright on their photo. you seem to know copyright law so you understand implied copyright. what most people dont understand is that although she has an implied copyright, usage must be explicit and contracted. she cannot use that image except for editorial purposes without a property release(she was on private property) and a model release.  she obtained neither of these. The attention she has garnered for herself will only make it tougher for photographers as most bands now hire there own photographers which means any work you do as a non-hired photographer becomes a derivative of their work and they have the right to edit your work as to not devalue theirs before giving you a release. That is because implied copyright is formed as an idea prior to the pressing of the shutter essentially stating because at a "moment" you both shot a similiar picture you are infinging on their copyright because it is their job to be there. It is a brave new world out there and people who have not went to school for photography and are calling themselves "Photographer" have a higher standard as does any "profesional" I can't call my self a profesional race car driver becauae I own one, The same holds true with photographers&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 22:52:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618127512</link><description>&lt;p&gt;she cant even post it to facebook. there is no Implied usage. All usage and reproduction must be explicit(needs a contract and releases) Once she called herself "photographer" that makes her a profesional which makes any publication of the image promotional.&lt;br&gt;Protect your photos with explicit Copyrights &lt;br&gt;your name 2017&lt;br&gt;Do not write &lt;br&gt;Your Name photographer 2017&lt;br&gt;or&lt;br&gt;your name photography 2017&lt;br&gt;why because now you are held to a higher standard,that of a profesional photographer&lt;br&gt;also Send all your work to the copyright office at the end of the year as a compilation. Now you have an explicit and acknowledged copyright.&lt;br&gt;Don't do what she did get her information from the internet. She will probably be banned or refused entrance to any concert where she is recognized. No musician is going to allow her to photograph them. Was it worth it for her?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 19:06:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618113949</link><description>&lt;p&gt;even if the venue allowed photography it is an implied copyright. reproduction and usage are seperate from a copyright. If she has not obtained a release from the venue and the perfomer to use or reproduce the photo she has violated the law. Reproduction and usage must be explicit and can not be implied. Meaning if you take a pbotograph at a club or concert you can't post it anywhere it is for personal use only.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:55:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618104543</link><description>&lt;p&gt;any reproduction is usage . Usage must be  explicit and contracted. You can not use a concert photo for "fine art" unless it is for your personal use,nor can you use it to promote your business because you would be profiting from it without express consent for usage. Usage is different from copyright .look up The rock and roll hall of fame copyright lawsuit from Cincinatti.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:47:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618088974</link><description>&lt;p&gt;A public event is still on private property. Without a property release you cannot use the picture. I think you are confused about definitions public event does not mean public property. Public property is a sidewalk a government building anywhere where you are allowed to walk free at any time and cannot be removed for trespassing. A concert venue, a rodeo, a state fair are all private events that allow the public to attend. They are not on public property. So if you do something illegally they can say you are trespassing and have you removed. You cannot trespass on public property such as a sidewalk because it is owned by you. You paid taxes for it&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">popimages</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:34:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rock Legend Brian May Slams Photog for Protecting Her Copyright</title><link>http://petapixel.com/?p=294023#comment-3618083232</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Jen, let's throw copyright out the window. We are talking about usage law. There is implied copyright. There is no implied usage usage must be explicit. If a venue allows cameras it is not for commercial usage.

Even the idea of an images copywritten. What she doesn't own is usage for publication which must be explicit. It cannot be implied. It must be in a contract.
