Re: Copyright of photos made in Russia
Funny to see the Russians concerned by copyright laws. They must have learned these terms after the SSSR collapsed, because before they just did not exist in their vocabulary!
There is, however, an economical logic. Hundred thousands of photographs, newsreels... are preserved and maintained in Koblenz and it costs a lot of money to German taxpayers. Why shouldn't BA be financially rewarded for their work that, most of the time, allows foreign authors and publishers to make money (however small) out of their photographs?
