Dean, either you misunderstood what that attorney said, or he mistakenly advised you as to the law. What you have posted there is not correct.

I think Dean may have written it wrong. Placing an item on the internet does not mean the copyright becomes public domain.
But a non-copyrighted image can be used by others, or something of that effect.

I'm not even sure how they knew my name to attribute the images to in the first place because it's not on my Photobucket account. The only thing I can think of is they contacted the local minor league club (Lincoln Saltdogs) and asked for old images of Lincoln baseball...The Saltdogs contacted me last year through the American Association forum and I gave them the link to my photobucket...they may have passed that info on to the city??
And again, I would have let them use anything they wanted..it was just a bit of a shock to run across a website I didn't even know about where 90% of the images are mine.

Copying Images
I hesitate to post images on this forum, because of potential use on other sites. One issue is that a rare item seems more common if everybody has seen it a few times. You might think there are several out there when it is virtually one-of-a-kind. If you ever decide to sell, the item might sell for a lot less.

What you are saying seems strange to me. Anyone interested in paying high $ for a rare card or photo ought to know if it's really rare or not. Countless re-productions of an image of the T206 Gretzky Wagner have not made anyone think it's less rare (though it is otherwise controversial). If the item has been sold in an online auction or printed in a catalogue, you can do nothing to prevent it's reproduction, nor can you prevent a previous owner from posting a scan. Would posting photos of an un-refinished Federal era card table or other valuable antique make people think it is not rare? Last edited by bmarlowe1; 12-20-2009 at 11:02 PM.

What this fellow here says seems about right...
http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html Most folks get what knowledge they have muddled up with trademark and patent law notions. And the Berne Convention and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act have changed some of what folks have stuck in their heads. I think reading the link above would get most folks on sound footing.
