Copyright Transfer or License - How You Can Share Your Copyright and Still Keep It
You can transfer the copyright to an image, either by selling it or giving it away. If so, you give up all rights that you had in the image as if you never took the photograph. But the only way to give up a copyright to an image is in writing. Even when copies of a photo are distributed, the photographer retains the copyrights to the image. If you give your client copies of the digital files, without more, you are not giving up your copyrights.

Copyright Transfer - Read the Fine Print Even on the Web
While you might think that you are safe from transfering your copyright when using the web to transmit your images, be careful. Although a copyright transfer must be in writing and signed by the copyright owner, the law has caught up with technology. You now can “sign” a document by responding electronically. A contract may be in any memorandum form, including electronic mail. It is “signed” by any mark, written, stamped or engraved, that demonstrates the intent to agree to the contract. So read the fine print before transmitting your images on the web to protect your copyrights.
