Frankly, I do not care about the French law. I am no French citizen and it does not apply to me. It is a fact that PK negatives were taken by French but they did not acquire any copyrights. If they claim any copyrights, they are frauds to anyone but perhaps French, because only holder of it was a German ministry of propaganda or similar institution. It makes an interesting question, by the way, does the Time hold any copyright for Hugo Jaeger collection?

Yes, you are right. By the way, I have heard somewhere (perhaps on this board) that according to HMSO, any photos taken at RAF bases during the war are free for publishing, as their protection time expired.
