As long as there is no copyright to the studio you got them taken at. If there is none, then more power to you. But if there is, you have to go to the studio to get more copies or ask for a copyright release. Some places will not give releases, though.

It depends on whether you actually purchased any copyrights to do so.
Most photographers don't sell these kinds of rights. They are selling you a single copy of their work, not rights to the work itself.
But if you hired the photographer to take pictures, you may have a different arrangement. But even a wedding photographer retains the copyrights. You have to go back to him when you want prints, most of the time. They don't give you the negatives for a reason.

Depends on the contract with the photographer. Generally, the photographer, being the creator of the artwork, holds the copyright. This prevents you from making copies legally.
The easy way to decipher this is by who owns the negatives - if you do then you own the copyright, if they do they own it. But it can be more complicated so check with the photographer.

Your question in its current form is not really answerable without making unwarranted presumptions, as other respondents have. It depends on a lot of factors that you have omitted: who took the photographs? under what circumstances? does "paid for" mean you bought copies of photos, hired someone to take them, or something else? what do you mean by copies? You should ask with more detail; otherwise, you must settle for the guesses of people who may not have any expertise in the subject of your question.

Well. technically you paid for copies of photographs.. the phot themselves belong for the photographer. But I doubt you'd have any problems making copies on a self serve color copier..

You can, but only if they do not have the name of the photographer or studio on the pictures themselves...for example, I got my daughter's pictures done at Glamour Shots, and they put their logo in the corner...so I couldn't have them copied.
Hope it helps!

If you go to a place like Target they won't let you if it's got a professional logo by the photographer. If you do it from home it doesn't really matter.

There will always be some idiot to challenge to that claiming copyright infringement.
