in reply to Hackaday (unofficial) • • •Apparently, the proposed new law prohibits claiming that an image or video is not a fake when it really is. That should already be covered by laws against fraud. It's hard to see how copyright is relevant at all. I think maybe the Guardian and Hackaday both misunderstand what copyright is.
Copyright is not a prohibition against claiming that a photograph is of something it's not. It is also not a prohibition against claiming that something that is not a photograph is a photograph. It is not even presenting someone else's work as your own. That's plagiarism.
Copyright is making copies of works without the permission of the copyright holder.
If you own copyright to your face, that means that no one else can make faces identical to yours.
Copyright to a photograph of someone is owned by the photographer.
So, once again, my guess is that the Danish law either requires that you identify images that are not photographs as not photographs, or that you have to get a person's permission to photograph a person before photographing. I think the former is more likely.
In both the Guardian and Hackaday article, using the word "copyright" hopelessly muddies the issue.
Bad journalism!
