I get that you're trying to be sarcastic, but what is this in reference to?
Are you asking this sarcastically??

Almost European humour

Yup, I agree and have stated that in other threads since I've been here.I don't know anything about anything, but I will say that I could be one of those people who would say "why can't I, it's mine" about the whole scanning the photos thing. imho, it seems rediculous for any photo studio or photographer to withhold rights to prints which someone paid money for, which are of themselves, family, or personal events. I'm totally ignorant on how it works but I see lots of peeps discussing it on here. Do photographers or studios really expect people to find them YEARS after the fact? That seems unreasonable if it is the case. When it comes to photos an individual has commissioned I would think the rights to those photos would lie with the person who commissioned them and PAID for them.
No, not exactly as you state it here. But there will be something that you sign that states the photographer holds exclusive rights to the images.And is it disclosed to people at the time of purchase that they have no right to do with their prints as they please?

You go to a photographer and want your picture taken. You pay money and the photographer takes your picture. What do you get for that money? Absolutely nothing. You have just paid someone to allow them to take your photo and that is all.
Now they want you to pay for prints, at 400 times what it actually costs to have them printed. That is judged on the fact that you would probably pay $20 for an 8x10 print and it only cost $2 for the actual print.
It would be like going to a car dealer and paying for a car. But, before you can actually drive it, you have to pay for each of the miles you want to drive before you leave with it.
Somehow all this copyright stuff messed things up. If you pay for a product, you should recieve that product and be able to do anything you want for that product. As it is now, you pay and you recieve nothing. Then if you actually want a product, you pay again.

Oh, and about the wedding photographer stuff that is being discussed.... Whether it is sarcasm or not, screw the photographer. He is charging you an arm and a leg for his wedding photography, I say charge him for the food as well as for being able to listen to the music that you have hired. There he is charging you out the a$$ and he gets free food. "Oh, thank you for making me bankrupt for the start of my marriage, here, have some wonderful food that I've paid for as well..."

People don't understand what they are paying for when they buy prints from photographer.

Let me just preface this by stating I am not a professional so by no means am I trying to convey that I know what it takes to be a pro - but I have been a photographer for many years and I know what it takes to start working your way up to even thinking about trying to become a pro.Oh, and about the wedding photographer stuff that is being discussed....
