Our church had a website and someone from within the church
membership volunteered to be Web Administrator. He has
since left the church and I am now running the site. We
canceled our account with the web hosting service that was
used he was admin and have built a whole new site using a
completely different hosting service. He is now claiming
that some of the pictures we have used were copyrighted
under his company and we can't use them. They are staff
photos and church photos, taken with the church camera,
mostly by the church pastor or other church members for the
express purpose of use by the church. There was never any
contract signed or payment made to this man, as it was all
on a volunteer basis, something he told our pastor he had
the desire to do. Does he have any legal grounds for
copyright infringement?

Thanks,
Amy
