CopyWrong, Part 5
I develop film and print digital photos from photo kiosks at a drug store before smartphones are ubiquitous.
Customer: “I want copies of these pictures.”
Me: “Sir, these are copyrighted photos; I can’t copy them.”
Customer: “Bulls***. They’re pictures of my kid.”
Me: “These are senior yearbook photos that are copyrighted by the photographer your child’s school paid to take the pictures. You have to contact them to get more copies.”
Customer: “But my b**** of an ex-wife only gave me one copy!”
Me: “I’m sorry to hear that, sir, but I am not losing my job over your child’s photo.”
Customer: “What’s the worst that could happen?”
Me: “A $10,000 fine.”
Customer: *Pauses* “F***!”
I guess the fine was cheaper than buying the copies legitimately?
