What's the law regarding the taking of photographs during theatre productions? Someone told me recently that it violated copyright law. I can understand how video can do that, but still photography? Why would a photo of someone standing in costume with their mouth open violate copyright law? Does anyone have a definite answer on this?

Personally I think anyone

Personally I think anyone who takes flash photography at a theatrical presentation of any kind should be hung drawn and quartered. Then their children, then their children. Then we should all go and dance on the ashes. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
