Student Photographer Threatened With Suspension For Sports Photos
sandbagger writes: Anthony Mazur is a senior at Flower Mound High School in Texas who photographed school sports games and other events. Naturally he posted them on line. A few days ago he was summoned to the principal's office and threatened with a suspension and 'reporting to the IRS' if he didn't take those 4000 photos down. Reportedly, the principal's rationale was that the school has copyright on the images and not him.
The school owned the camera he used. Therefore all work from that camera belongs to the school.
What's your next guess?

> your average principal has to check the school policy manual to figure out which leg to put in the trouser first. And then they mess it up half the time anyway.
So if the manual says to put your left leg in first, and you mess up and put your right leg in first -- exactly what badness happens?
(If this were the Hokey Pokey then I'd understand how doing this might cause the end of civilization. But for trousers, no.)
The main one being I pay 4000 a year in taxes to send your to school and then spend another $8000 a year each to send of my 4 kids to a better school than the you get for "free".
If you're spending that much to send them to a "better" school, the least they could do in return is proofread your posts for you.
Slashdot isn't about anything except marketing to teenager children any more. This fights right in to their sense of self righteousness.
Yea because when I think "young and hip" slashdot is the first thing that pops into my mind.
I browse on +1 so AC's need not respond, I won't see it.

The zipper winds up in the back.
And for a school administrator as full of shit as this guy is, that might not be a bad thing...
As a former troublemaker, I never understood how suspension is a punishment. I considered a three day vacation from school to be supreme good fortune.
Equal rights for centaurs now!
what a bigoted, able-ist post. why do you assume everyone has 2 legs, shitlord?
You must be new here. Here on /. we say "you insensitive clod". We do have our traditions you know.
