I spent a long while before deciding to include a few of the images in my blog post.

Anonymous works are covered for 120 years.

Since, according to the magazine, the images never were published before, the images are copyright protected. It's just a question who is the owner of the copyright but they are still protected.<BR/><BR/>TimoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137713.post-37295074573160482492008-12-03T10:07:00.000-05:002008-12-03T10:07:00.000-05:00I've heard that my post is being forwarded to peop...I've heard that my post is being forwarded to people who may be able to address the copyright questions that I've raised.

I agree that I wish there were some terms of use posted on the site- I looked all over and didn't see any. I am glad the pictures are available, but does Life just want us to look at them? In the absence of information to the contrary, I am sure people will be tempted to use them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
