Personal copyright

Once everyone has been image identified through their selfies we can enforce personal copyright.

If you, for example, pop up in a Japanese tourist’s snapshot and they go to post it on Facebook, then your face will be automatically blurred and you will be notified, whereupon you will have the option to approve its release.

That would work for video too. And CCTV.

And it would mess up the paparazzi.

One thought on “Personal copyright

  1. Sounds like a patent spoiler

    But the problem is you don’t have copyright in your own person it is created in your work art writing etc (arguably you could say your parent has copyright over you but you don’t)

    The copyright applies to the photo and belongs to the photographer, not sure the subject has any rights in the image except perhaps an implied but not legislated right to privacy or in the case of a concert a right contracted in the sale of the ticket
