Customer Reviews: Review #1: Details on censorship, obscenity, releases, online stock photos and more make this a key survey 2010-08-15 The Law (in Plain English) for Photographers comes from two attorneys who provide insights on digital imaging and the Internet. In an era where digital images can be easily captured and altered, discussions of photographer rights and avoiding legal problems become even more important. Details on censorship, obscenity, releases, online stock photos and more make this a key survey. Review #2: A too general overview for the basics of law for small business 2008-02-25 I have a small internet business and found a couple of chapters in this book to be helpful, but found many parts of it to be too general. The author genuinely offers some good advice, the problem is, that is just too little. There are so many types of businesses out there, and I feel like this is just the bare bones of what it could be. To me, it would be better if this book was 2 times longer. For a skim over of basic business law, I would give this a go, but for a more in depth picture of what you need to know, I would go to something that has a little more info. Review #3: Essential Reading for Every Photographer 2002-01-01 This book covers the basics of the legal and business aspects of being a photographer. Duboff wastes no words. The book is thoughtful, concise, well organized and easy to read. The court cases he cites are interesting and thought provoking as well as useful information. This book is an invaluable reference for setting up a professional photography business. Review #4: Very up to date 2000-06-26 Another great reference book for the small business owner. Very up to date. It includes a chapter on doing business on the Internet.
