[Modeldad]

Here we go again. Just because some one scans and posts a picture on the internet, no legal rights are conferred on whomever scanned or didn't scan the picture. There is no need under the sun or moon to ask the scanner for permission.

The original scan itself may be a violation of a copyright.

Once a person posts a picture on the internet it is all fair for others to use it in almost any manner whatsoever. Even a copyrighted picture can be posted elsewhere as long as it is not done for financial gain. The posting need only be for the purpose of historical research/information or humor. The only time a person must be credited is if the person who posts it here actually knows who holds the copyright. But most unlikely.

Only a copyrighted picture used for financial gain cannot be used without the permission of the holder of the copyright. The holder of the copyright is the person that created the image (actually took the picture).

So why do we need to point the finger at one another over a nonevent.
