I tried to print out some wedding pictures for my grandmother at Walmart today but they refused to give me the photos (they were already printed) because I didn't have a copyright release from the wedding photographer. Walmart apparently will not sell photos that look like they've been taken by a professional photographer unless you have a signed copyright release.
Seriously? It's a picture of my wife and I! How big of a problem is this? I guess I could have lied and said they were not taken by a professional -- which they would have accepted -- except that I'd answered truthfully before I'd known about this restriction.
What a colossal inconvenience.
Well, lesson learned - avoid Walmart for pictures.
