What are the rights of photographers and videographers?

In Pennsylvania, photographers and videographers have certain rights to protect their work. By law, photographers and videographers own the copyright to the images or footage they have created unless otherwise specified in writing. This means they have the right to decide who can use their work and how they can use it. Unless a photographer or videographer has given permission to use their work, it is not legal to copy, display, distribute, or modify the work without their permission. Photographers and videographers also have the right to get compensated for their work. The law gives photographers and videographers the right to collect royalties or to be paid for the use of their work. The amount of compensation will depend on the type of usage and the importance of the work. For example, if a photographer’s work is used in a magazine or website, they can expect to get paid for their work. Photographers and videographers also have the right to determine how their work is presented and used. They own the moral rights to the work, which means they can decide if their work should be altered in any way, as well as if their name is credited in association with the work. In short, photographers and videographers in Pennsylvania have similar rights to those in other jurisdictions, which include owning the copyright to their work, receiving appropriate compensation for their work, and determining how their work is used and presented.
