Berwyn Police Blotter
Rights to artwork in dispute
January 15, 2008, 4:55 PM
A Berwyn artist living in the 5700 block of Roosevelt told police she had allowed a Chicago man to photograph some of her paintings to place on his website in order to advertise the work of both. But when the woman checked the photographer’s website, she realized he was offering prints of 13 of her paintings for sale, with a price list. Worse, when a cursor was placed over the images, “© 2008” and the name of the photographer—not the artist—appeared. The photographer even had a PayPal account with which prospective customers could pay him for the woman’s artwork.
