Wedding Photos.Bobby took a number of wedding photos at Jill's wedding.He was paid as the photographer.On all of the photographs,he appropriately noted in the bottom right corner the necessary information showing that he was claiming copyright protection.Jill came to see Bobby three years after the initial photographs were taken and requested that he grant her permission to make as many copies as she wanted at the local photo shop from the pictures that she initially purchased.The photo shop had refused to reproduce the photographs without his permission.When he refused to give her permission to do so,Jill started a heated argument.She told Bobby that photographs are not entitled to copyright protection.She also told him that even if he was correct that there was some copyright protection,she was engaged in fair use,and in any event,damages for copyright infringement are unavailable.If Bobby decides to register the photographs under copyright law,how would he go about doing so?
