I'm confused about something. Was this image registered with the copyright office before the infringement took place or after? I would be surprised if a photographer of a wedding reception would register all of their pictures for every client the shoot images of.
If she registered after the fact isn't it too late to bring on a federal copyright suit? Doesn't the registration need to be done before the infringement?
Just curious I am however on the side of those guys and pro gay marriage, just wondering about the semantics of the law here./div>
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the supreme court already say in Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. (et al., 540 US 806 (2003) that a trademarks cannot be used to try to force a perpetual copyright, when a copyright does not exist or has expired???/div>
