Has anyone else had problems making copies of family photos at Wal-mart? |
Okay, this is more venting than asking a question. I'm making a scap book for my sister's 30th birthday. I took 25 photos to Wal-mart to make copies. After I made the copies in the photo dept &went to pay for them, the clerk went through all 25 photos one by one. She pulled 6 out and said that I couldn't have those because they were taken by a professional photographer & that's a copy right violation. But, they weren't taken by a professional. They were taken by my father with my family standing in front of the living room window curtains! Still, she wouldn't let me have them even though I argued with her. I took the 6 photos to Target & copied them there without any problems. My friend had a similar problem with Wal-mart. She took her children to the park & took beautiful photos of them with her digital camera, close ups & poses. When she took her camera chip to Wal-mart & printed them out, they went through her photos & agrued that half of them were taken by a professional! They can only do that if there is a copyright actually printed on the photo. Wal-Mart has been sued before for printing those kind, so they reserve the right to deny any pics they want. You can get back at them by taking one that they rejected, and reprinting hundreds of copies, and leaving! It's true that WM cant print copies taken by professionals. Next time, show them the back of the photos to prove that there is no Professional Company name on them. Yes, if they are taken by a professional they have a copywright and Walmart could get in a lot of trouble giving them to you. They are a big company and could get sued for lots of money. i had to sneak mine out. On the back of the photos they have their mark, just show thema nd you should be fine. |
