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.
Hej!
Min morgontidning hade intervju med en person och foto på den som jag tagit. Jag skrev till tidningen och gav dem inbetalningsuppgifter för att ersätta mig enligt lista för publicering samt för att de inte angett upphovsmannen. De svarade att den intervjuade skickat bilden och att man inte kommit överens om översättning varför de inte skulle ge mig någon. Den intervjuade berättade att hen skickat bilden och att man angående publicering sagt varken bu eller bä vare sig om själva publiceringen eller eventuell ersättning, de hade inte heller frågat om vem som var upphovsmannen. Jag fattar det däremot som att tidningen borde förvissa sig om vem som är upphovsman och ha dennes tillstånd innan publicering. Observera att den intervjuade inte sagt sig vara upphovsman. Hur gör jag nu? Mvh E.S.
