This is a contract of sale? There's no copyright, surely, as they're but creative images - they bound by technical restrictions not artistic ones. AIUI slavish recreations don't attract copyright.
Maybe in USA there's a carve-in for satellite images?
Not sure how space treaties fit with copyright; what's the jurisdiction, is it where the satellite was launched from?
- ISL 4y agoThe jurisdiction question is an interesting one.

- pbhjpbhj 4y agoIf you copy an image as it's broadcast off a satellite then, no copyright exists (?) in the image, you can then publish it first and sue the satellite owner if they publish the same image? I'll have to review Berne as that seems inconsistent with copyright existing from the point of creation of a work (I know that there are late-publishing rights too). If you publish an image I took, but I did not publish, what would be the jurisdiction -- of your assertion is correct this would seem to be indeterminate.
