                  Oprah Winfrey loses round in Chicago court

                  July 27, 2000
                  Web posted at: 3:45 PM EDT (1945 GMT)

                  CHICAGO (Reuters) -- Talk show host Oprah
                  Winfrey has lost a round in a suit brought by two
                  freelance photographers who claimed she unfairly
                  used some of their pictures in a book.

                  Judge Ruben Castillo of the U.S. District Court in
                  Chicago ruled that the photographers alone created
                  the pictures and hold their copyrights.

                  Whether Winfrey erred in using 11 photos shot by
                  Stephen Green and Paul Natkin without their
                  permission in her 1996 book "Make the
                  Connection" will be determined later by a jury trial
                  in the same court.

                  The two photographers were hired by Winfrey's
production company to shoot
                  thousands of photos of her over several years for
publicity purposes.

                  Castillo handed down the ruling Tuesday. The jury
trial is set for August 14.
