What is the name of your state? California.

I have recently taken pictures for a company on the internet. I signed a release form stating that they have the rights to use these pictures.

I now have second thoughts. I used an expired ID which they did not know about. But I don't want them to use the pictures on the internet. Is there anyway the release form can be made void because of the expired ID that I used? And if not, is there any way I can purchase the exclusive rights to those pictures so they cannot be used on the internet? Someone help me please.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to any advice.What is the name of your state?

No. And especially not if the ID was otherwise correct.

And if not, is there any way I can purchase the exclusive rights to those pictures so they cannot be used on the internet?
Sure. Go to the company that currently owns the rights to the pictures, and find out how much it will cost to purchase all of the rights to the pictures. Remember, though, they don't HAVE to sell you the pictures, and they can charge any price they want, so you might not have much leverage if they really don't want to sell.
