[AT] Grain Binders and nudity....

[Ralph Goff]

I have to admit that the copyright laws can be annoying but I can see the
need for them. Its a great resource for us to be able to view these old
photos for free but of course it cost money and time for somebody to archive
them for display purposes.
I have seen it from the other side too. Now I have a few photos on the net
and while I doubt they are worth much to anybody, it does annoy me some to
find them displayed on somebody elses site with no mention of my name or
even a thankyou. The few people that have asked permission to use my photos
I usually let them as long as they are willing to list photo credits to me.
Its the ones that just help themselves without asking that bother me.
Ralph in Sask.
