Hi guys and gals, first post, so not sure if this is the right section... apologies if it should be somewhere else.
Anyway, a friend of mine recently entered a photo competiton on another forum... he won. However, he had previously uploaded the same image to the website of the angling club he belongs to, and the administrator of the club website is now claiming ownership of the image, and says that my friend is breaking copyright law on HIS image!!! the administrator is demanding that he removes it from all other areas he may have posted, removes it from the angling forum, and insists that he is the legal owner of the image and it's copyright.
What are the in's and out's of this situation?
