<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 326500, member: 4920&quot;]Confusing, huh? Tell me about it. Here, see how this works for you...</p><p><br /></p><p>The guy who snapped the photograph owns the copyright in the photograph. In a hundred years from now, after his copyright in the photograph expired, the Bridgeman Art Museum comes along and reproduces an exact duplicate of the photograph on their copy machine, and next Corel Corporation comes along and does the same exact thing, and gets sued by the Bridgeman Art Museum for copyright infringement. The Bridgeman Art Museum loses. That&#039;s all that case says. Once that photographer&#039;s copyright expired and he hadn&#039;t assigned it to anybody, it&#039;s dead, and the photograph is considered &quot;in the public domain.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: And let me just retract my statement that Mark was referring to copyright law. Standing corrected by Mark: &quot;As for the pictures (copyright or no copyright) I would certainly ask for permission before using someone elses pictures. Just the right thing to do in my opinion.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
