The Art of Intellectual Property
dpilgrim writes "When digital technology meets intellectual property, most of the attention focuses on the movie industry or the music business. I was surprised to discover how much of an impact there is in smaller areas like professional photography, and put together some reflections on my experience." This is why when I get married I want to make sure I contract only for the photographer's labor.
It's legal to imply that you will provide top-notch wedding photography service, and then once the once-in-a-lifetime experience is over, refuse to provide any real service at all?
The stupid bitch might just as well only offer sequia-toned tintype pictures in postage stamp dimensions.
I can't wait til they're all bankrupted and out of business. Hope she can flip burgers, because I doubt she has any other trade worth knowing.
Well, if you wish to understand my vehemence, I suppose that is fair enough. Read through other people's experiences. Videographers unwilling to make DVD's... as if VHS hasn't been a dead format for 2 years. As if they'd replace the tape from the digital master for a nominal fee, if it were destroyed. Why the fuck doesn't he just offer it on exclusively film? It would only be slightly more worthless.
Things like that. Then again, just the fact that she intentionally sells low-quality product, when her costs are fixed. Not even willing to sell high qual... it's not a part of her pricing scale, she never intends to do so. Claiming she owns a fucking "moment" for christs sake... she'd do much better if she just provided a photography lighting service. But I suppose that doesn't make her feel artistic enough.
Screw'em all.
