Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Pictures are interesting things, not like the written word. If you wouldn't mind, e-mail me privately and we can talk about this more. I also know some things about right-to-publish pictures from the media's point of view also. I've co-published " Annuals " , " newspapers " and my own private photo's.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 As far as I know I am 'NOT' related to the person writting the book...everytime I try to ask questions everyone shut up and won't tell me anything. They won't show me the book either unless I buy it... I was told he is selling it for $150 a book. I still believe he doesn't have the right to put the picture in the book with permission from me. But I could be 100% wrong. Thanks for your reply xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Outsider AngelSpider <xmaself@...> wrote: > I've written genealogy books.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 " Frogboy, " I'm not a professional expert but this is what I know about photography: Usually the rights of the photo, (in any book, magazine, etc) belongs to the original photographer - not to the subject of what's being taken. If it was done for a company, it goes to them. *However*, a real photographer would get the permission along with the names of the people being photographed. Minors (faces) are usually not allowed to be taken w/o parental permission. I would definitely look this up. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Our family does geneology. We are heavily involved in it. If the picture is of a public gathering, and you are in it, then it is just like having your picture in the newspaper. If the picture is of the group, and each person is named on that picture, such as a school picture, then there is not a problem either. Family pictures usually fall under the same catagory as a school picture. If you stood in the picture to have it taken, then you have accepted having it posted. The +ACI-copyright+ACI- is where things get sticky. If the copyright was taken from another copyright, without permission, the the writer is in an uncomfortable situation. That would apply to the writer and not to you though. Usually when one does geneology, and are working on a 'family album' then it makes it easier to put pictures in for the family to 'compare' traits and such. It's early and I'm in a rush, but I hope I made sense. +ADs-o))) Good luck+ACE- Debi Hoggan +AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4Afg- +ACI-Happiness does lie in every corner, and you don't even have to turn over a stone or new leaf to find it waiting+ACI- +AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4AfgB+AH4Afg- A great new list has grown over the months, and we would like to invite you to come and see it, /subscribe/CFS-Fibro-Autoimmune .

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 I pretty much agree with all this. I just didn't have the time (sorry) to write it all out. My next book is almost ready to go to press and it will have several pics in it of other people. Of these " shots " , I only have to ask permission of one person because the rest were what we call " Public Domain " .
