Question Re: Who or what is Sudek13?

Hello

Problem with auctions is always that the highest price wins - not the nicest bidder.

Though in the case of Sudek13 I do feel that the Canadian Revenue Departments are ignoring a huge currency drain here....

I have heard that he/she/it is heir to a publishing group and intends bringing out exclusive 'books' using all these photos.

All you buy on Ebay is a print or more rarely a negative. How can anyone have exclusive copyright on a single paper print? The most you can do is state who's collection it belongs to.

Does even buying a negative on ebay - give one copyright? If the German negative was taken by an official military photographer - then surely the rights remain with the German State - i.e. Bundesarchiv
