If you take a phote of anything, you have copyright to the photo as you took it. The copyright is yours as long as you can prove you took it, having a photograph that someone sends you will not do.

If you copy a design then the copyright is with the company you were copying.

In business i once got a warning from Land Rover about using thier logo on a sales leaflet and i was warned that if i did not remove it they would take action against me.

I proved to them that it was a photograph of the badge on my Range Rover and that i owned the car and photo.

Now that becomes a grey area and so they may not have the rights to have it removed, After several letters they never took action, however we did agree that i would not use it again just in case.
