A Family Christmas Card


For this specific situation, I do believe it is a copy write violation. When one gets professional photos taken, such as the case with this case study, the photographer would give a licensing agreement to the family. From there, the family would be able to freely post the blog on social media. Some photographers even let one freely print photos from a selected photo service. Since the shop did not have a licensing agreement, the shop should not have printed the photo. 

In an educational setting, this could work under the Fair  Use Act.  For example, students might have an assignment to make a fake advertisement when studying economics. This would be used for educational purposes.  This is because this would be used for a transformative purpose, therefore,would fall under the Fair Use Act.

  1. Correct - except hard to enforce internationally.

    You are correct about the education variance, here, though.
