the law is simple
due to the way that the images are made available
by Heritage, they don't have any copyright control
if you look at the Wikipedia article Bridgeman
Library vs Corel Corp, you'll see that the courts
ruled a photograph of an image that is already in
the public domain is not copyrightable and that anyone can use it
this would be different if the image was
distributed as part of a Digital Rights
Management tool/software which requires an
installation and extraction from a larger package
to which the image file is embedded

This leads to something else I've been
wondering...I've seen many images of posters
that auction houses have sold as in many cases
being posters of one of a kind. Are these images
being sold by the auction houses to companies to
be reproduced or are these images being copied of he internet and books?
Some examples of late, (so far only 11x17's)
Bride of Frankenstein D style 1sh. and Snow White 40x60.
I've even noticed that Stephen Fishler's,
Frankenstein 6sh. is now copied as a 41x41
poster for sale...true not copied as a 6sh., but
maybe sometime in the near future.
Which leads to, who owns the right to sell or
copy an individual poster image? Does this
belong to an auction house...does it belong to a
seller or the new buyer of the original poster
being copied? Or does everyone have the right to
copy or steal an image for profit?
Surely most intentions may be if you can't own
the original this is your chance to own a copy,
but with today's opportunist, I can see more and
more fakes hitting the market and burning the poster field.

I have always felt that Ebay should not allow
reproductions in the same categories as original
lobby cards and posters especially some dealers
in repros are really cagey about how they
describe their wares so as not to label them
reprints or reproductions. This inevitably
leads to fraud. Does anyone else agree? FRANC
