Re: Is there any problem with copying eBay photos?

Hi
in my opinion no, as with e bay auctions the new photo owner does not have copyright, only owns the photo, despite what they believe.

LEMB has a great rule, allows photos and if the new owner objects they can be removed.

copyright has been debated much on the boards and and will be in the future, no doubt, but certain things have to be met to have the copyright, usually at least an original negative taken by the owner of the photo.

But the general internet rule seems to be it is Ok to post just credit the link.

Let's post and all learn from what we see.

cheers
Jerry
