Welcome to Bildombudsmannen

Staffan Teste, Bildombudsmannen AB, works as Picture ombudsman for Nordic countries. If you have problem to receive money from a buyer we can help you. We are involved in infringements of pictures owned by small copyright owners to big rights holders and picture agencies. As long as you own the copyright we will help you.
     Since 1977 we have helped several hundred copyright owners to receive money from a few thousand crowns to half a million. During late 90-ties we helped 18 picture agencies to receive about one million crowns from a collecting society. We help copyright owners and picture buyers to write fair contracts. We have also helped models to receive what they should and helped people, who have been unlawfully used in advertising.
     Teste is also working for BLF the Swedish organisation for photo companies and agencies in Sweden, second largest organisation of that kind in Europe and a member of Cepic.

Fotograf vann forumfråga i HD

En fotograf anser sig ha skadats av ett norskt skivbolags otillåtna utnyttjande av hans bild på Internet. Högsta domstolen beslöt att fotografen skall få stämma i Sverige och inte i Norge.
     Tidigare har såväl Stockholms tingsrätt som Svea Hovrätt avvisat fotografens stämningsförsök i Sverige. Detta trots att intrångsbilden på Google.se hamnat överst i sökningarna före lagligt publicerade bilder i Sverige.

Ombudet i målet är jur.kand. Staffan Teste som därmed fått sitt tredje upphovsrättsliga mål prövat i Högsta domstolen. HD dömde till fotografs fördel i det s.k. tumnagelmålet i våras, men med rösterna 3-2 förlorade en fotograf ett annat cd-omslagsmål gentemot Åhléns i november. HD har nu återförvisat forummålet till tingsrätten i själva sakfrågan, som handlar om ett CD-omslag av Kiki Danielsson inköpt för svensk utgivning av tidigare skivdirektören Bert Karlsson, som nu inkallats som vittne vid Stockholms tingsrätt.
