Copyright is the exclusive right held by the photographer or artist to reproduce, publish or sell a photograph or piece of art. The copyright to a photograph is established by the creation of the work by the photographer. A photograph, work of art or a book is known as "intellectual property" and is protected from theft just like any other physical property. Any use of intellectual property without the written consent of the originator is a form of theft and is covered by the Federal Copyright Laws of the United States as well as International Copyright Law.
