rich,
so are you saying that older poster images fall into the public
domain arena? any idea how much time must go by before a poster falls
into the PD category?

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
