Subject: [Leica] National trust photography rules

I went to a National Trust property in the UK the other day and had to
sign a document to obtain a photography permit. It was only when I got
home that I read it properly and found the following clauses...

"I assign to the National Trust the entire copyright worldwide of
previously unpublished photographs for the full period of copyright and
all extensions and renewals of it, and confirm that the National Trust
shall be duly credited as owner of copyright."

So it appears that I have signed away the copyright of anything I
photographed to the National Trust.

Is it just me, or does this seem a little draconian?

Steve
