Buying Photograph Slides
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 11:32 am
Hi,
I just wanted clarification on the issue of copyright when it comes to purchasing slides.
I have bought a number of slides from an online trading site. These slides are originals, not duplicates.
They have passed through a number of traders' hands, obviously starting with the original photographer selling the slide. It is all legal.
What are the rules about me using these slides? Is it still breach of copyright even if I own this, the original image?
The slide does not have the photographer's name or any copyright statement written or printed on it.
Any help appreciated!
Matt
