Re: Arthur Waite/ Pamela Coleman Smith Cards
Yes, I thought it best not to post the details of the surviving members of the family here for privacy reasons. Obviously the barrister would be the best first port of call!

Re: Arthur Waite/ Pamela Coleman Smith Cards
Thanks for that, Andy. Mea culpa for incorrectly relying on the 1842 Act rather than 1862 (D'oh!). I suppose there might be a question as to whether the 1911 Act could have over-ridden the 1862 Act as regards the automatic transfer of copyright in the case of a commission, given that section 24 of t...

Re: Arthur Waite/ Pamela Coleman Smith Cards
I looked into this previously, and what I think the situation is is covered on the Talk page for the Rider-Waite deck Wikipedia page. The bottom line is that Waite commissioned Colman Smith to do the artwork for the deck, and it is contended that Waite owned the copyright as the commissioner, but ob...

Re: Film Stills Pre-1969
Productions stills are rarely the work of a film's director. They are normally taken by a studio photographer - or a freelancer - for continuity and/or publicity purposes. Ownership would therefore usually be with the studio or producers, not the director.

Re: Postcard images and content
Hi Nick, Good call. If you have an address it's very good for finding out who lived there in September 1939. But if you search on a name, the 1939 Register will only identify people who have since died, or who were born before 1916. All other entries are obscured. Plus, in my experience some of the...

Re: Postcard image: oil painting
Doing a bit of Googling, it looks like Tuck used the "after" designation incorrectly for simple reproductions. Comparing the postcard image to one of the original work should make it clear whether it is a reproduction or not.

Re: Am I Infringing this business's copyright with this?
Thank you Nick. Can you not see the example that I linked to? Not initially, as there is a rogue full stop in the URL, but having removed it, I can now see your image. On the face of it, LYD's claims seem extremely tenuous. They can't claim copyright simply on the silhouettes of people, trees, and ...

Re: WW2 Naval Publication Maps
I would certainly go down the route of having the map re-drawn. It might be worth looking at difference representations of the same map given that, if it's showing a convoy route, it is probable that it's just a general indication, rather than being the exact one taken. Be aware that there are many ...

Re: Am I Infringing this business's copyright with this?
It looks like LYD use at least two different but stylistically similar images for different areas. Notwithstanding the fact I can't see what you were using, they can't just claim ownership on the silhouette landscape form, as it's a widely graphic device.

Re: 1960 article in Punch
The cartoons appear to have been licensed to www.punch.co.uk who are trading as 'Punch Magazine'. It is, perhaps, worth noting that many Punch cartoons are now public domain in the UK, notwithstanding the fact that the aforementioned website is still offering to license them. The works of William H...

Re: Pixsy.com email re use of photo on website demanding fee

Re: How to assess compensation?
Although the Author says he did not realise the material was copyright the pages he copied from my website had a "no right click" on them so they could not be cut and pasted, which in itself should have made him realise I didn't want anyone copying the articles . So frankly I don't believe him . Su...

Re: Plagiarism of Blog Articles
Hi Nick Yes, and I believe it was mandatory for any business domain to supply all of their details, and for those details to be publicly available via Whois. As far as I can remember the privacy option was for personal or non-business websites. Yes, I know I could have opted-out at the time of regi...
