Unless the photographer transferred copyright of the photo over to Axl Rose, the photographer retains copyright ownership over it. I would politely ask Web Sheriff what the sweet child of mine it is talking about here. “ was there and taking shots without permission or authority, then other considerations / factors would come-into-play as to what such individuals can and cannot do in terms of attempting to commercially exploit the resultant images of someone else’s show,” TF was informed.
When asked, Web Sheriff’s response was instead to insist that even if the photographer had not signed an agreement - leading me to believe he probably didn’t –, that Rose would still be able to claim ownership over the photo. Web Sheriff, who certainly should be able to produce the agreement, having taken the lead on the copyright claims, isn’t doing so. He confirmed that some concerts do indeed make photographers sign these types of agreements, but couldn’t recall if this concert included one or not. Now, TorrentFreak reached out to Minkevich, who had no idea this takedown blitz was underway. transfer copyright ownership in such photos to AR’s relevant service company,” the company told TF in a statement. specify and limit the manner in which the photos can be exploited and B. “We can gladly confirm that all official / accredited photographers at shows sign-off on ‘Photography Permission’ contracts / ‘Photographic Release’ agreements which A. Since Minkevich was the one who took it, he must own the copyright, right? Web Sheriff doesn’t seem to think so.
Perhaps the first reaction here is that Rose has no right to take down Minkevich’s photo. Second, Minkevich had no idea that Rose was trying to “cleanse the web” of his photo. Firstly, Minkevich definitely took the photo. During our initial discussions a few things became clear.

We eventually found Boris Minkevich at the Winnipeg Free Press where his fine work is published in all its glory. TorrentFreak tracked down the photographer who captured this moment to see if he was aware of these takedown efforts. Those photos were taken by Boris Minkevich and published by the Winnipeg Free Press. The DMCA notices all revolve around photos taken in 2010 at a concert. Hi there, Web Sheriff! In between money-laundering, abusing human rights, and generally breaking roughly all the laws over here at Techdirt, we had just enough time to notice you have a strange view on how copyright law works! This comes as only a mild shock to us, given how confused you folks appear to be on all the other laws you routinely talk about, but let’s give this a go, shall we? Please be advised that no permission has been granted to publish the copyright image so we cannot direct you to an authorized example of it,” the notices sent by Web Sheriff on behalf of the singer read. And you’ll never guess who he employed to help him do so! What most of us don’t do, however, is cook up a copyright claim on a photograph we didn’t take and try to get Google to remove every use of the picture from the internet. Hell, we all have photos taken of us that we probably don’t find flattering, and Father Time ends up foisting pounds and wrinkles on all of us that we’d rather not have. And, as you can surely understand, Rose isn’t pleased that these memes are going around.
