Since when did Walmart become the copyright police? It's not their job to protect anyone. I think the clerk was overstepping his authority. The only time he has any say in what gets printed is if it's child-porn. Even then, all he can do is call the police.
perhaps liability has been extended to establishments in lawsuits. walmart has deep pockets - it wouldn't surprise me if there have been attempts to go after businesses with assets to tap.
Yep, many lawsuits against the companies that print the copyrighted works. Most people won. There is a standard release for that you can get filled out by the photographer and then you will have no problem getting the prints done.
