Everything you say is true except this last bit. The subject of the picture
has no say over who owns it (aside form some rule about pictures of peoples
faces). A foto of a stargate set is entirely the intelectual property of
the photographer. The tricky part is a contrived bit: taking a picture of
the television as it plays SG. Scene composition and the like are obviously
yours... but what about what is actually on the tv? It gets tricky here,
but noone really cares anyway. Just dont go into advertising till you read
the books. (law books, not sci-fi novels)
