I own the copyright to the photo? Bought photo slides with the copyrights. I have had someone tell me that because there are trademarked items in the photograph I can't make photo copies and sell them. This doesn't make any sense and I am unable to find anything differently. Wouldn't this make it impossible for photographers to sell their own photos without exclusive permission from every company that is in their photo background?
If I am at a game and take a picture of Tom Brady, I (even under poor man's rules) own the photo.
Is there a copyright law I missed doing my research that won't allow me to reproduce this?
It isn't a photo of anything negative or embarrassing. All the photos I've purchased are photos taken by the photographer during a game, warm-ups or open field practice. No public images or personal photos.
If the NFL owns the image and I am not using them for marketing or publication, am I ok doing what I want with printing and sales? I am only using these for autographs and minimal resale.
