there is no requirement for copyright to be declared - it exists, in Australian law, for original works. There is no mention of copyright notices in the Copyright Act. the relevant statement in the Act is: "copyright, in relation to a work, is the exclusive right:... in the case of an artistic work, to do all or any of the following acts: (i) to reproduce the work in a material form; (ii) to publish the work; (iii) to communicate the work to the public"
and photos are clearly "artistic works", as per the Act's definitions "artistic work means: (a) a painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving or photograph, whether the work is of artistic quality or not..."
I am not a lawyer, but spent many years in a major library sharing office space with a copyright lawyer, and there was frequently discussion of copyright matters in branch meetings (and libraries take a strong interest in copyright) sandra h On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 9:20 PM, Philip Veerman <> wrote:
