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.
Vilseleder Wikipedias anvisningar om bilduppladdning? När äldre bilder återges i en artikel på Wikipedia finns följande påstående i anslutning till bilden: "This Swedish photograph is free to use either of these cases: For photographic works (fotografiska verk), the image is public domain: a) if the photographer died before January 1, 1944, or b) if the photographer is not known, and can not be traced, and the image was created before January 1, 1944. For photographic pictures (fotografiska bilder), such as images of the press, the image is public domain if created before January 1, 1969 (transitional regulations 1994). " Kan det verkligen stämma? Att det gäller i förhållande till fotografen förstår jag, men jag har sett bilder publiceras på Wikipedia där de plockats ur nyutgivna konstböcker eller från andras hemsidor. I båda fallen har ju någon gjort en bild av bilden (foto eller inskanning) och det är den som publiceras i boken eller på hemsidan. Denna arbetsinsats blir helt oskyddad med Wikipedias formulering. Den som äger unika gamla bilder och gör en hemsida med dem får alltså finna sig i att andra därefter kan plocka fritt till sina sidor? Och den som inte har unika gamla bilder men gör sig besväret att skanna in bilder ur gamla böcker får inte ha sin sida i fred utan ska alltså på samma sätt dela med sig av sitt arbete gratis till andra? Det här kan ju inte stämma?
