I don't have a Nikon EULA handy - have you heard anything about that
or is it bull****?

1. I have no idea what an EULA is.

2. If you look at the statement that you are reciting at its face, there
is
no way it could be taken seriously. Look at all the professional
photographers that shoot with Nikon digital gear. Do you think, even for
a
moment, that they would allow the intellectual rights to their work be
compromised in any way? I don't think so. The pro community is and
always
has been Nikon's bread and butter. I really don't think Nikon would be so
stupid as to try and **** where it eats. Maybe Snopes has the answer you
seek, but I don't give the issue enough credibility to warrant spending
any
of my time checking it out.

Just wondering. EULA is End Users License Agreement and it's part of
the standard license for electronic stuff.



I suspect the claim (which is bogus in my opinion) relates to the software
used in the cameras.
Most software is "licensed" to the end user for use but remains the
intellectual property of the manufacturer. I use MS Excel, but I don't
think Microsoft can claim a spreadsheet that I generated is "their"
property.

Or can they?
