Here's a fun one.
You're getting married and leave disposable cameras on the tables for guests to take pictures of the big day and collect them at the end of the night.
You get the pictures developed, scanned and post them to your blog. What you just did is illegal. Under C-61, you are only the the author of the work. The copyright holder is the guest who takes the image and will be for 50 years following the year after their death. 25 years after the year following your guests death, the estate holder of the guest may claim the rights to your wedding photos.
You could of course ask all your guests to sign a contract in the first place.
Fair and balanced, made in Canada solution.
