Help me out here. I definitely understand photographers have a challenging job that requires both skill and talent, and deserve to be paid for their work.
However, if I pay someone to take a picture, is it really reasonable for me to have to pay separately for every copy, be denied a digital copy, and be woke-shamed for musing out loud about just scanning a print and being done with it?
The whole thing seems completely outrageous, but massive numbers of people seem to see no problem with it...

...and I was gonna add my own rhyming verse about that being a song of 1913, but the problem was that it was released in 1911. Bummer.

Listen up, children, and you shall hear
A story that isn't 'bout Paul Revere;
Instead you shall hear a rather large tale
Of how Twitter, then Musk, ditched the famous Fail Whale
...who was simply carried away by Alfred Hitchcock's Birds.

Thanks for letting me know! I was already wondering about exactly this.
I guess fickle propagation because of the way ActivityPub works is the price we pay for not having a secret Silicon Valley algorithm telling us what to look at!
This "friend that is me" feature sounds interesting. Is there any documentation on this? Would it be feasible to have many such accounts across the Fediverse, or isn't that what it is made for?

You can associate your accounts on as many instances as you want to. Though unless you are using those accounts it changes nothing. It is really made to echo what you say there here. So you do not have to multi post. Not all Friendica Instances have this feature turned on. I use it myself (or in theory thought I would though I am rarely on another Instance) so I have it turned on. It works on any Fedi platform, the other account does not need to a Friendica account.
As a new user you should still have the New User Tab available. Going to the online help is also useful.

I just don't get it. If a picture is worth "x", charge me "x" for the picture, and be done with it. I can certainly guarantee that people are *always* pissed off about it, which is bad for business, and it can't really be making the photographer *that* much money. I mean, how often do people make requests for a picture more than a month or two after they are first delivered? It just seems like bad thinking/bad business.
Besides, we're talking about a commissioned work. Does the guy who first drew Donald Duck retain control of the pictures he made? No, of course not, Disney did.
To be honest, it also concerns me a bit that raw photos of my children are perpetually housed in the "collections" of at least two-dozen photographers whose security procedures most likely range from "what's a virus?" to "Microsoft has that firewall, they say I'm safe"...

Laws are vague at best. Though as a rule of thumb the one that took the picture has rights to it, not the subject of the photograph. Though consult a lawyer, as I am not one, for better legal advice on the topic. The same as a painting. Unless a contract is specifically drawn up to give rights to the contractor. You can be sure that the photos taken by a media platforms photographer belong to the media platform and not the photographer (unless they are freelance and have no specific contract then if they sell them to the media they insist on full rights not copies in most cases). The next time you hire a photographer draw up a contract the clearly states that you own the negative (raw files) and all parts of the photographs taken and that you you are only contracting their services and nothing more and that they have no right to maintain a copy of the images for any purpose. This will cause the photographer to ask for more money for their services though it seems you would be okay with that?
