Photos like this burned his temper.

THAT and he doesn't want other people owning photos of his presidency at key functions that he does not own copyright to.

Bands are doing the same thing now, limiting who can take photos (generally a hired staffer instead of a freelance or syndicated photographer) to limit who can sell them for the next quarter century.

“that he does not own copyright to”

In my training, Govt cannot copyright. It’s products are owned by the people.

US Post Office is a different animal (they copyright stamps).

But I forget, the king owns all, even the images you have in your mind.

The difference is that bands are private enterprises and have considerable control over their brand and how they market themselves. Mr. Obama is a public servant, serving in an elective position accountable to the American people. His problem is that he doesn’t think that we have any right to hold him accountable.
