Brother tried to get prints made from a memory card @ WalMart

[RAMd®d]

I remember when a couple around the Bay Area/South Bay (San Jose?) were arrested for taking child-porn because a drug-store photo person found pictures of their one/two year old-boy running around their pool, nekkid.

No end of grief for the family. I don't remember how it turned out; that wasn't news. But they suffered a great deal.

So not only to parents have to worry about what gets to the photo labs, but professional photographs are not permitted at Wal-Mart? Or you just have to prove your ownership?

"If you were really any good and these were really your pictures, why would you bring them to us to print?"

Or is it that Wal-Mart doesn't want to give cheap printing to pros?

And how to you tell somebody you *think* they're stealing copyrighted material and can't have the work done at Wal-Mart?


These are Walmart employees paid on the cheap, they are not copyright experts. They are only doing what they are told so they don't get fired.

Ain't that the truth!

I guess that wasn't much of a problem with film? Welcome to the brave new digital world.


That should have been worth some extra credit!

And a discussion of the pitfalls of taking good pictures.
