Who Owns the Copyrights to Your Photographs?

Posted on July 19, 2007 by Steve

The 28th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy on Surnames has been published.

Update: The topic for the 29th Edition was going to be Smile for the Camera. Jasia challenged bloggers to crack open the photo albums and blog about our favorite photos. As of Friday, 20 Jul 2007, the topic for the next Carnival of Genealogy has been changed to Moral or legal dilemmas in genealogy and genea-blogging, which ones have you had to deal with and how did you resolve them, if you did?

The deadline for submissions using the carnival submission form is August 1.

I recently completed the course in Genealogy & Copyright Guidelines through the National Institute for Genealogical Studies and, I must admit, I learned a lot about copyright law . Copyright law poses some important questions for the upcoming Carnival of Genealogy, not the least of which is: Who owns the copyrights to your photographs?

Copyright laws differ among countries, but in this article, I’ll limit my discussion to the United States copyright laws. Be aware that I am not trained in the law and I am not qualified to provide legal advice. The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice. Be sure to consult with a qualified legal representative to answer your questions about copyright laws.

Who Owns the Copyright?

Most people will not be surprised that, generally, the photographer owns the copyright in a photograph. However, the copyright may be transferred to another person. Upon the death of the photographer, the copyright is transferred to the copyright owner’s heirs.

A somewhat unexpected consequence of this fact is that, in most cases, a professional photographer owns the copyright to the photographs he takes. This means that, if someone hires a professional photographer to take wedding pictures or studio portraits, the photographer owns the copyright to the photographs, not the person who hired the photographer.

One exception is if you ask someone else to take a photograph of you with your own camera, you own the copyright. In this case, even though someone else snapped the picture, you own the original negative or original digital image, and consequently you own the copyright.

Ownership of a photographic print or digital image does not confer ownership of the copyright of that photograph. The copyright is owned by the owner of the original negative or original digital image.

How Long Does Copyright Last? 

Unless specific laws or agreements place a photograph in the public domain, most photographs are protected by copyright for a certain period of time. In order to be protected by copyright at all, the photograph must be original, but as long as the copyright is in effect, a photograph may not be reproduced or published without permission except as allowed by Fair Use (see below).

New Photographs. New photographs, meaning photographs taken after 01 Mar 1989, are automatically protected by copyright . The photographs need not include a notice of copyright, the photograph need not be published, and the photograph need not be registered with the copyright office to be protected.

Take note, however, that registration of the copyright of a photograph may be necessary to claim damages if your copyright is infringed. The current registration fee is $45, so it is unlikely that most genealogists will register the copyrights on their photographs.

If the photographer is known, the copyright is valid for the photographer’s life + 70 years. If the photographer is unknown, the copyright is valid for the year of creation + 120 years, or the year of publication + 95 years, whichever is shorter.

Photographs Published Before 01 Mar 1989. To be covered by copyright, photographs published before 01 Mar 1989 must have been accompanied by a copyright notice. Photographs published before 01 Mar 1989 without a copyright notice are in the public domain. In this sense, publication means that the photograph is made available to the general public.

See the American Society of Media Photographers website and the comment by Robert Panzer (below) for more information.

Photographs Published before 1923. In the United States, all photographs published before 1923 are in the public domain. They may be used freely, although proper credit should still be provided to the photographer, if known.

Unpublished Photographs. Special care must be taken with photographs that are unpublished, where publication entails distribution to the public. Unpublished photographs are protected by copyright for the life of the photographer + 70 years, if the photographer is known. If the photographer is unknown, the copyright is valid for the year of creation + 120 years, or the year of publication + 95 years, whichever is shorter.

Most of my own family pictures fall into the category of unpublished photographs.

Obtaining Permission to Use Copyrighted Photographs 

Unless someone is certain that either he owns the copyright to a photograph or that the photograph is in the public domain, he should obtain permission to use the photograph if he intends to use the photograph beyond the limits of Fair Use.

If the photographer is deceased, the copyright will usually pass to the photographer’s heirs. If a photographic studio has been sold, copyrights may have been transferred to whoever purchased the studio. Permission to use professional photographs still under copyright should be obtained from whoever currently owns the copyright to those photographs. The owner of the copyright may ask for royalties in exchange for permission to publish the photographs in a family history or on the web.

This means that you may inherit the copyright for photographs your deceased parents took. It also means that you may share the copyright with your siblings. If you don’t own sole copyright to the photographs you want to publish, you should obtain permission from all current copyright owners . 

One-of-a-Kind Photographs

If a photograph is one-of-a-kind, such as a photograph found in an archives or private collection, the owner of the photograph may still charge a fee for use of the photograph, even if the photograph is in the public domain.

Privacy

Photographs that include recognizable people present additional concerns. Before publishing the images of living people, one must obtain the written permission of those people. Exceptions exist for the publication of the images of public figures when used in a context related to that person’s public status.

Copyrighted Content in Photographs

Aside from the issue of copyrighted photographs themselves, one must be aware that the publication of photographs of copyrighted subjects and trademarks may also be protected.

Buildings constructed after 01 Dec 1990 may be protected by copyright and the publication of photographs of such structures may violate copyright laws . However, if the building is in a public place and photographable from a public place, publication of photographs of copyrighted buildings may not violate copyright laws.

An exception exists when a building includes copyrighted artwork . Permission to publish a photograph of copyrighted artwork must be obtained before publication.

The Picture Archive Council of America has assembled a list of structures that may be protected. This caveat does not mean that you can’t take a picture of these structures. It does, however, mean that you must obtain permission to publish those photographs.

Fair Use

Fair Use permits the use of copyrighted material in limited circumstances determined by the intended use of the material, the nature of the copyrighted material, the amount of copyrighted material used, and the effect of the use on the market for the copyrighted material.

Based on this, one may be able to use copyrighted photographs for personal educational purposes, but reproduction of copyrighted photographs on the Internet or in a published family history is probably outside the limits of fair use.

Photographs on the Internet

While the Internet is widely used for the free exchange of information, one should never assume that photographs posted on the Internet are in the public domain. In turn, this observation does not mean that public domain images do not exist on the Internet. To find public domain images, try searching for “public domain images” using your favorite search engine. There are plenty of royalty-free public domain images available on the Internet as well as images available for use for a fee.

Conclusion

Before publishing a photograph on the Internet or in a Family History, be sure that you have the right to publish the photograph. If you are not certain that the photograph is in the public domain or that you own the copyright to the photograph, either obtain permission to publish or consider using another photograph.

And, if your photographs include recognizable images of living people, be sure to obtain the permission of those people before publication.

Once again, I am not trained in the law and I am not qualified to provide legal advice. The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice. Be sure to consult with a qualified legal representative to answer your questions about copyright laws.

The Angel Raphael

Posted on July 18, 2007 by Steve

In addition to the stained glass windows depicting events in the life of Christ, the Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York has many other stained glass windows. Besides the eight Life of Christ windows, I have a photograph of only two other windows, one of which I showed previously: The Poor Widow.

The only other photograph I have of the windows is one of the Angel Raphael.

The Angel Raphael - Stained Glass - Church of Saint Vincent de Paul Albany New York

The Angel Raphael

SOURCE: Raphael. Stained Glass Window in the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, Albany, New York. Created approximately 1904-1908 in Munich, Germany. Photographed by Stephen J. Danko 09 Jul 2007.

There are a few other windows, pictures of which were once on the web but are no longer:

  • Angel with Trumpet (from the former choir loft)
  • St. Louise de Marillac (from the former choir loft)
  • Angel with Lyre (from the former choir loft)
  • The Baptism of Jesus
  • Michael the Archangel
  • Tributes to the First Three Pastors

The windows I’ve called the Angel with Trumpet, St. Louise de Marillac and Angel with Lyre can be seen in the photo I took of the interior of the church, facing the entrance. The Angel with Trumpet is on the left, St. Louise de Marillac is in the middle . and the Angel with Lyre in on the right. These widows were once at the back of the choir loft. In 1633, St. Louise de Marillac and St. Vincent de Paul formed the Daughters of Charity, the first community of non-cloistered nuns.

Three windows paying tribute to the first three pastors depict saints who were influential in the lives of the first three pastors of St. Vincent de Paul and also show parish buildings with which those pastors were associated:

  • In Honor of Father John J. Hanlon – Pastor from 1889-1902. Father Hanlon’s tribute shows Saint John Baptist Mary Vianney and (at the bottom) the original Church of St. Vincent de Paul.
  • In Honor of Father Michael L. Walsh – Pastor from 1902-1913. Father Walsh’s tribute shows Saint Dominic and (at the bottom) the new Church of St. Vincent de Paul formally dedicated on 01 Nov 1908.

The Resurrection

Posted on July 17, 2007 by Steve

Eight stained glass windows in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York depict events in the life of Jesus Christ. The last portrays The Resurrection.

This scene shows Jesus rising from the tomb, the guards terrified, and the angel who would announce the resurrection to those who would visit the tomb later. Note the marks from the nails in Jesus’ hands and feet.

{28:1} Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher.
{28:2} And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it.
{28:3} Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow.
{28:4} Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men.
{28:5} Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified.
{28:6} He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed.
{28:7} And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand.”
{28:8} And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples.
{28:9} And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him.
{28:10} Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.”

The Agony in the Garden

Posted on July 16, 2007 by Steve

Eight stained glass windows in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York depict events in the life of Jesus Christ. The seventh portrays The Agony in the Garden.

This window shows Jesus facing an angel who holds the chalice Jesus prays will pass from him. It also shows two of the men who joined him in the Garden of Gethsemani, one of whom holds the sword with which he would later cut the ear from the servant of the high priest. In the background, Judas is seen leading those who would come to arrest Jesus.

{26:36} Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit down here, while I go there and pray.”
{26:37} And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened.
{26:38} Then he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”
{26:39} And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will.”
{26:40} And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So, were you not able keep vigil with me for one hour?
{26:41} Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
{26:42} Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
{26:43} And again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
{26:44} And leaving them behind, again he went and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.
{26:45} Then he approached his disciples and said to them: “Sleep now and rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
{26:46} Rise up; let us go. Behold, he who will betray me draws near.”
{26:47} While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people.
{26:48} And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: “Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him.”
{26:49} And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, “Hail, Master.” And he kissed him.
{26:50} And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what purpose have you come?” Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held him.
26:51} And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
{26:52} Then Jesus said to him: “Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
{26:53} Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels?
{26:54} How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must be so?”

The Polish Surnames in My Family Tree

Posted on July 15, 2007 by Steve

In grade school I always enjoyed the day that came every year when our teachers would ask what our mothers’ maiden names were. My mother’s maiden surname – Niedziałkowski – always got everyone’s attention because it was so unusual. My own surname – Dańko – hardly raised an eyebrow.

Not until I began studying my family history in the late 1990s did I begin to realize that those names might have some meaning behind them. After all, a name is a name right? Fairly soon after I started researching my ancestry seriously, the second edition of Fred Hoffman’s book on Polish surnames was published, and boy, was this a godsend!

Categories of Polish Surnames

In his book on Polish surnames, Fred Hoffman divides and discusses the surnames according to five general categories:

  1. Personal Names and Coats of Arms
  2. Toponyms (Place Names)
  3. Occupations
  4. Features or Objects (including verbs, animals, trees, plants, food, drink)
  5. Foreign Names

Polish Surnames in My Family Tree

The surnames in my family tree span all of these five groups. Here is a list of some of them with their origins and meanings:

Bal: bal- “to tell tales”, first name Baltazar, Hungarian personal name Bal
Bonislawski: village Bonisław, altered name Będzisław
Chmielewski: chmiel “hops”
Chotkowski: place names Chotków, Chotkowo
Chruścicki: chrust “dry twigs”
Dańko: dan- “given” or name element from Daniel
Dymek: dym “smoke or name element from Dymitr
Dziura / Dziurzyński: dziura “hole”
Głowacz: głowa “head”
Goliński: goły “bare, naked”, golić “to shave”, or place name Golina
Grabowski: grab “hornbeam”, grabić “to rob”, grabie “rake”, old first name Grab, or toponym
Iwaniec: Ukrainian name Ivan = Polish name Jan (John)
Izbicki: izba “hut, chamber”
Jach: name element from Jan, Jakub, Jachym, etc.
Jara: jar- “sharp, strict”, jary “of the spring, robust, young”
Jedliński: jodła “fir tree”
Kolarowira: kolarz “wheelwright”
Malon: mały “small”, or a name root as in Małomir, also popular in toponyms
Marcinkiewicz: first name Marcin from the Latin Martinus (of or relating to Mars)
Markiewicz: first name Marek from the Latin Marcus (Mark)
Milewski: ancient names Miłobor, Miłosław with the root miły “dear, beloved”
Mossakowski: name Mojsław or Mojżesz (Moses)
Muszynski: mucha “housefly”
Niedziałkowski: nie działać “to do nothing”, niedziela “Sunday” (day of doing nothing)
Nosarzewski: nos “nose”
Panowski: pan “master, bridegroom”, names Pankracy, Pantelejmon, Opanas
Pomaski: village of Pomaski
Pszczółkowski: pszczoła “bee”
Ranow: rana “wound”, rano “early”, or name Ranimir
Skowroński: skowronek “lark” (a kind of bird)
Ślimak: ślimak “snail, slug” or “slow fellow”
Sowa: sowa “owl”
Szymański: name Szymon (Simon) (Hebrew), meaning “Hear my affliction”
Tropiło / Trupiło: trop “trace, trail, scent”, tropić “to track”
Wojnowski: wojna “war, struggle”
Zygmuntowicz: name Zygmunt, Germanic *sigis “victory” + *mundo “protect, guard”

Evolution of Polish Surnames

I am often amazed at the number of different surnames used in Poland. Because fixed surnames are a rather recent phenomenon in Poland (and elsewhere), most not being fixed until the 18th century, many surnames have developed through something of a divergent evolution, where a surname such as Markowicz might diverge into Markowicz and Markiewicz over time.

In fact, in addition to Markowicz and Markiewicz, a large number of names derive from the given name Marek and the numbers of individuals with these surnames in Poland in 1990 varied greatly, with only 1 person using the surname Marec, but with 16,202 people using the surname Marek. And, of course, not all the people in Poland with the same or similar surnames are related to each other. Many surnames arose independently all over Poland, resulting in a convergent evolution of surnames.

Many of these Polish surnames present some difficulty for native speakers of English. I’m often asked “How is that name pronounced?” The short answer a native speaker of Polish would give is “Just the way it’s spelled”, but that’s little comfort to most people. My mother’s maiden name, Niedziałkowski, is mispronounced by nearly all native speakers of English.

These difficulties of pronouncing the surname Niedziałkowski has led to a divergent evolution of the surname among my relatives in the United States, resulting in the surnames Niedzialkowski, Niedzialkoski, Niedzial, and even Newman, all in one family line.

My own mother, while in her teens, briefly changed her surname to Nigel.

But that’s another story.

{10:13} And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
{10:14} But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
{10:15} Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.”
{10:16} And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

The Wedding at Cana

Posted on July 14, 2007 by Steve

Eight stained glass windows in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York depict events in the life of Jesus Christ. The fifth portrays The Wedding at Cana.

This work shows Jesus, his mother, the bride and groom, the water becoming wine as a servant pours it into a jar, and the chief steward examining the water made wine.

{2:1} And on the third day, a wedding was held in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
{2:2} Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
{2:3} And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
{2:4} And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
{2:5} His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
{2:6} Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
{2:7} Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
{2:8} And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took it to him.
{2:9} Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the groom,
{2:10} and he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
{2:11} This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple

Posted on July 13, 2007 by Steve

Eight stained glass windows in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York depict events in the life of Jesus Christ. The fourth portrays Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple.

In the upper right you will see Mary and Joseph as they find Jesus in the temple in Jerusalem.

{2:40} Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
{2:41} And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
{2:42} And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
{2:43} And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
{2:44} But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
{2:45} And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
{2:46} And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
{2:47} But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
{2:48} And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
{2:49} And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
{2:50} And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
{2:51} And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
{2:52} And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.

The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple

Posted on July 12, 2007 by Steve

Eight stained glass windows in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, New York depict events in the life of Jesus Christ. The third portrays the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

Notice that Joseph carries a cage with the requisite two turtle doves mentioned in Luke 2:24. Could this be the basis for the two turtle doves mentioned in the “Twelve Days of Christmas”?

{2:21} And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
{2:22} And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
{2:23} just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
{2:24} and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
{2:25} And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
{2:26} And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
{2:27} And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
{2:28} he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
{2:29} “Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
{2:30} For my eyes have seen your salvation,
{2:31} which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
{2:32} the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
{2:33} And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
{2:34} And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
{2:35} And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
{2:36} And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
{2:37} And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
{2:38} And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
{2:39} And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
