I have a couple of THE posters being copied. I wasn't asked, and I'm not making any money off the images... Someone is!
What Rich is saying is that if I want to copy the images off of Bruce's books and sell them, it's okay, because they are also on the internet....right? Personally, I think who ever is reproducing these images are buying the negatives of THE poster first.

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.

This inevitably leads to fraud. Does anyone else agree?
