Title: Copyright infringement
Post by: gaja on May 24, 2010, 08:30

This file, a replica of a 1000 years old statuette, was declined by DP due to copyright infringement. I didn't know copyright extended that far back. But I'm probably a direct desendant of the artist, so maybe I should write them a PR? It was dug out of an Icelandic marsh, so I have no idea what the name of the artist was. Is that a problem?

My guess is that they may fear this is a museum item.

Personally I believe this type of image may have a better place in the RM market, especially if you can identify it in detail.

whole world has gone mad. not allowed to take pics of the Eiffel tower at night because the light show has a copyright. And Beat St in Seattle photos are a copyright landmine.
