Digital BW, The Print

With a Photo it is 50 years pulse the life of the 
Photographer before the image goes in to 
"public domain".

a play, etc., enters "public domain" 
where it belongs to the public. I 

believe 50 to 75� years is the limit to 
copywrites (depending on what 

the item is). There was a push last year to 
overhaul the copyright laws, 

but I am not sure what happened to that.


So depending on a lot of particulars, there 
may or may not be an issue 

of using these images for personal reasons 
based on copywrite laws. I am 

not saying it's the "proper" thing to 
do, but it is not necessarily in 

violation of copywrite since they may have 
expired.
