I took a picture of a public official(Sheriff) in a 4th of July parade. I posted that picture on his website. Now I see that picture being used in a campaign ad on television. Do I still have rights to this picture?

Before you put your photos anywhere online is the time to think about how your photos might be used by a site. Read Terms & Conditions to find out if by using a site that allows them to use your photos. In this case if it was an agency site I don't know if they'd have terms related to photos, but since you posted your photo it seems you gave it to them.
icepics wrote: Gary, I was wondering where the photo was posted because I wouldn't expect a public agency to necessarily have a way for people to post photos on the agency's site. If it was posted to the sheriff's dept. Facebook page, that would put it under Facebook's Terms & Conditions, which site users agree to when signing up.
Apparently the opposing candidate didn't have anything to do with the ad but is that website just a one page statement?? I'd expect an organization to list a board or officers but I don't follow politics to be familiar with a PAC. I guess depending on what kind of response you get Chris you might need to look it up and make sure that site is the legit PAC's site.
icepics wrote: I think Dennis that's right that someone can register the copyright after a photo might have already been used or published. It depends on where a photo is posted - usually when signing up to use a site that means users are agreeing to the Terms. Those may state that the site allows usage of photos you post.
