This would have to be the dumbest thing I've read this week.

Why do you say that, it is true.

Because it isn't true. They aren't breaching copyright by copying
something at my request. They have no onus to determine the provenance
of any file they are asked to copy. They aren't selling it, all they
are doing is making a copy.

If they do the copy they lay themselves
open for a suit mand they have relatively deep pockets.

Rubbish.

Hell, one could
probably make a pretty good income by *registering* a copyright (so
damages don't need to be proved) then getting a shill to take it
around to photo finishing places until he finds a sucker that will
copy it.

All copying and printing services would go out of business if this was
the case as there is no way to prove that the person requesting the
copy holds copyright unless they were present at the time the image
was taken. It isn't possible.

I can take any image from any source and claim that it is mine. As per
other threads, it is easy to swap or remove the exif data, so that
doesn't provide valid proof.

Where are all you fruitcakes coming from?

Even with heavily protected items like movies and software,
prosecutions are always for distributing or selling, not for actual
copying.
I have used a camera in a professional sense for most of my working
life (no, I am not a commercial photographer) and have never had
anyone even ask whether I held copyright to anything that I have had
commercially reproduced.

If someone uses an image without a licence in a publication, say an ad
in a magazine, the person who created the ad is prosecuted, not the
company who ran the print job. When you place an ad you need to
indemnify the the publication against possible prosecution for breach
of copyright - invasion of privacy etc. Illegitimate use of copyright
material is actionable, not copying it.

Where the hell do you people get this crap?

Oh, now I understand...you are an idiot.
