Slashdot | Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures

Okay, I’m all for copyright and trademark enforcement, but this is ridiculous! By this logic, I can’t take a photo of anything I have purchased and sell the photo. If this ends up going to court, an awful lot of photogs are going to have to get a lot more waivers signed. A model won’t be able to pose in front of a building, a car, even a park bench, without there being a question of rights infringement.

I can’t be the only one who sees this as tossing the proverbial baby out with the bath water. Anyone?
