COPYRIGHT ACT AMENDMENT
Photographers’ Approval
A motion approving the proposed amendments to the Copyright Act as they affect photography, was passed yesterday by delegates to the twenty-fifth conference of the New Zealand Professional Photographers' AssocuaWon now in progress in the city. The conference is to recommend to the authorities that they publish the amendments widely in a popular version while at the same time the association intends to supplement the informateon with other articles.
The secretary of the association, Mr J. C. Redwerd (Wellington) said he noticed that the provisions followed closely the 1956 legialataom in the United Kingdom. “They seem to be working satistactorily there,” he sand. The association aimed to ensure that a photographer working for someone else did not use this work for bis own ends, said the president (Mr F. Neiderer, of Hamilton), and also that When a person took a photo which was considered newsworthy, it could not be published without his permission. Both situations could and did occur at the moment, be said.
