Re: [Digital BW] Image theft

2002-05-07 by Carolyn Frayn

Jerry... your original words led me to believe you were referring to
photographs, not magazine pages. The magazines have paid a usage fee to the
image creators/photographers or artists whose stuff grace their pages. Then
in turn the magazines themselves carry copyright protection from what I
understand. So I have no idea how that is all worked out... I don't do it.

Back to my perception of your original post,  there is no way that they
could legally use a photograph, or a scanned file of a photograph without
some sort of infringement on another's rights of ownership. I wasn't
referring to magazine pages when I responded... that's not what you said.

going back to work now...
