Getty are, incorrectly, claiming to hold a copyright on the images. That's illegal (fraudulent misrepresentation?). The National Archives could not transfer the copyright to Getty, because it was not theirs to transfer - under US copyright laws just about anything done with public/government funding must be made freely available to the public. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
