Re: Photos, copyright etc.

I think at this point the matter should be dropped.

This post shows that the topic has fallen to the level of guessing what might have happened in a case, and if so what that might mean……

Its simply speculative and not a set-in concrete event with certainty on the related copyright rules.

I’m going with the Law School page of conditions and related restrictions as -the- reference to use.

Best to ya,

       Only the book is copyrighted. All authors get permission for use of any images they use, if their publishers are paying attention. The permission to publish in a book is often "single use only," meaning that no permission for OTHER publication was granted. Sure, the publisher has made sure the author got permission for THAT use; but that has NOTHING to do with YOUR right to use said photo.
