Strictly speaking, the fact that the camera automatically applies your copyright information to someone else's work product is a violation of the law. Ownership of the tools being used has no part whatsoever in copyright law, otherwise Microsoft would own the copyright to any anything ever written using Word, since they never release ownership of their software, but just allow their customers a limited license to use it.
Of course you can always sign away your rights by contract, and many employers force people to do just that as a condition of employment.
Its only "illegal" in the sense that you are technically (automatically) claiming ownership/copyright of someone else's protected "works". I very much doubt you would lend a friend a camera and they would turn around and sue you for copyright infringement... but ya never know. I think this would be more of an issue if a camera rental service rented cameras with this data filled out.Monster wrote: That doesn't make sense. If someone takes my camera and fire offs a shot of a tree, I can't see how this would be breaking any sort of laws because my camera automatically copyrights the photo. It's my camera.
