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.
Staffan Teste has experience in International law in his position as a former member of the board of the European Picture agency organisation Cepic. He has represent Cepic in the World Intellectual Organisation, WIPO and in EU-hearings.
Companies outside Sweden use Bildombudsmannen to help them with their problems in the picture world. Bildombudsmannen represent members of Picscout www.picscout.com on Nordic countries. Staffan Teste is member of an International law discussion group in Cepic. Every year lawyers from that group meet at Cepic conference in Europe.
Send an email to teste@bildombudsmannen.se and tell us your problems. We work on a commission base after a small amount of introduction money. If it turned out to be impossible to solve your case it does not cost you anything more.
Jag jobbar på en kommunal skola, ej som lärare utan som administrativ personal. Har alltid mått dåligt av att behöva vara med i skolfotokataloger redan som barn där det brukades flinas och hånas åt bilderna när väl skolkatalogen kom från tryckeriet. Mår fortfarande som vuxen dåligt av att behöva ställa upp på sådana bilder. Skolfotokatalogerna täcker dessutom alla kommunens skolor och hamnar ibland inscannade på nätet (via torrentsidor och liknande).
Foton på anställda, inklusive mig, finns redan på en vägg i skolans entré - det har jag inga problem med då det känns mer relevant. Skolfotokataloger känns så omotiverat. Elever från andra skolor, eller föräldrar till elever i skolan borde inte ha något intresse i hur personalen och eleverna på en viss skola ser ut?
Vet även att flera elever på skolan har samma problem, och jag känner så väl igen mig i deras vånda så jag passar på att frågar även å deras vägnar, måste elever ställa upp med bild i skolfotokatalogen? Många skolkar/sjukskriver sig just pga detta, och det känns inte rätt väg att gå. Ett enkelt "nej tack" borde räcka?

Fins inget avtal bör nej räcka
