This is so that if that copyrighter(the photographer) somehow come to Wal Mart and says hey you copied my images-they no Mssissy did. Pursue her!
Exactly! They just cover their a$$.
I've had to use this when I had to pick up my own pictures

So what do you do if they are your pics but they look professional?
How do you prove that?
Some programs used to process your digital photos can embed the copyright info in the metafile of the photo too. Adobe Lightroom automatically adds my name and copyright info to each photo file when I download it from the camera to the computer.

But if someone has a print you made for them, and scans it themselves at Walmart, all of that info is gone...
I'm not disagreeing with the idea of copyrights, but I wonder if there's a practical way to deal with very old photos, even if they are professional. If you personally knew that the photographer died, but you wanted to protect some old photos by scanning and reprinting them, how could you legally go about doing that? You know they were professional, you know you don't have the copyright, you know you can't get it, but you don't want the photos to disintegrate into dust....
