typical :confused: the advert was from an american firm (sealy, part of gladding) advertising an english based production (intrepid ,falmouth) reel ,do i have to find the photographer of the advert ???? ,it gets harder in an british publication

i`m phoning sean o,driscol tomorrow (tackle and guns) i`l make sure i get written permission to use his magazines adds unless ofcourse they belong to the person who took the pics why is life so difficult for fat bearded people )

Usually if you acknowledge the source for Ads etc. they don't mind you reproducing them in a not for profit way...

specially with current Ads... You can copy the ads for my sites any time.

P.S. the Paintings on the Art site are copyright of the Artist, namely me....

...and I don't want to hear any remarks about Drawing the Dole! :mad:

[will this name be ok]

i can only offer this small peice of advice Chester

 

RUN RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

one hurdle over (in theory)

Dear Dave,

As a rule adverts belong to the advertiser. So you will probably need to

contact the company that placed the advert rather than the newspaper or book

publisher.

 

I hope this is of some help to you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Someone once told me that the original photographer has the copyright for 70 years, of any picture they have taken.

Of course there are lawyers looking for you, Chesters. Perhaps, re. your making a bivvy with a stick and burkha, you should get another stick and knit yourself a balaclava.
