Which begs the question who owns the picture? Does the photographer or the president own it? If it is the photographer was the photographer a government contractor or employee working in official capacity? If the president owns it how does that affect things, he wasn't working in official capacity.
Though, some will say he has never been working - officially or not.
When a photographer is an employee the employer retains copyright, in this case since the employer is the US government it's public domain. Nearly everything published by the US government is public domain, there is some minor exceptions occasionally where a third party may be involved but those are rare.
I keep telling you, whenever you mention the word Marxist, Socialist, Communist, or whatever else I stop reading because you have NO idea what Marxism really is.
Try reading up on what Karl Marx had in mind and who he was exactly and what Marxism was all about before you attempt to label others with your ignorant vitriol.

The White House photographer and every other photographer, writer, painter, etc that has ever lived doesn't want people using their works without permission.
Goodness, talk about reaching for something!!!
FYI- This warning:
Quote:
This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
appears on every single Flickr White House photo published on the site.
Guess what else? A similar warning is captioned with many other photographers' work on that site too!
Don't get your knickers in a twist. It's just the standard disclaimer on all official White House photos passed to the press.
Now what fun would that be?! Please don't let facts and logic get in the way of the fun.
