I dont think any of the 8 million people in Toronto read anything except the newspaper.
They leave everything else for me.
Russian King Covers
Came across a listing that might be intriguing for anyone who collects King foreign stuff~ cool covers!!

I f somebody could save these pictures in the right place here somewhere, as I dont know, it would be great to have them referenced
You need the picture owner's permission to use their pictures. You could be sued for infringing their intelectual property rights.If somebody could save these pictures in the right place here somewhere, as I dont know, it would be great to have them referenced
This morning, I had a seller remove my pictures from their auction. They never asked permission. To their credit, they removed them immediately.
Funny you should say Rabbit, I posted to the complain thread about that yesterday. I was searching King books and saw a picture of my book on my oak photo stand with my wooden studio background...i sent the seller a really pissed off email....he apologized and removed immediately saying he thought it was a stock picture, as soon as it was replaced by the actual stock image of this book, I emailed him back and said.
"damn that looks like crap, put my picture back.
My thinking was that if this seller actually gets $300 for the book (which is a new book as is mine) it would be good for the title and good for holding and raising the value of "our" stuff. The seller has not returned my image as for sure he thinks I'm a lunatic now as would I.
As for owners image rights, this is a field where I have much experience as my photos have appeared in hundreds of places around the world.
There is a huge difference between an owner of the actual image and the owner of an image of an image...does that make sense?
These Russian book covers are most likely scans of the covers and/or stock pictures of the books. Nobody scanning or photographing a piece of existing art can claim any rights to the image.
The actual artist or perhaps publisher could maybe say "you used are picture" we will sue you.
But there is something called "publicity use".
In promoting a book, cd, artist etc any original owner would be stupid as most of these uses are for the benefit of selling the product and as long as the product or person is "shown in a favorable light", be it for sales purposes, research, and or data collection, this is not an infringement.
The seller using your photos (and mine) faces different repercussion as he is claiming that that is the exact item he is selling, which is fraud, as well as if there is any hint that it is your room, desk, lamp or dust in the picture...then he has violated your rights.
This is pretty much international protocol in case you were thinking otherwise.
Damn, I'm sounding like a lawyer and the Lord knows how much I hate those.
Now I need to take a shower and wash that crap off.
I'll post the picks if anyone thinks there is a good spot.

I kind of agree what you are saying about image rights. I sold photos for 30 odd years.It was so much easier when it was acetate. The negative owner owner the rights. Much harder with digital images.
IMO an image of an image is fair game.
That pretty much made my day. Thank you.

A NEW GAME BEGINS
yes rabbit things have changed in photography big time, the "digital age " has destroyed artist rights....before my lawyers used to hang anyone in the town square who used my stuff without forking over the dough...I used to get residuals from stuff i didn't even remember photographing...these days I hand over a disc and get as much as I can right there cause controlling any internet usage is beyond anyone's capacity and there is no way of catching up to every joe blow that posts your image cause they think its cool...
These days you just have to be happy that people like your stuff.
what kind of photography did you do??

wow
I think someone got a pretty good deal on a S/L THE GUNSLINGER this morning. I did a quick check on ABE this morning at about 4:30 AM Central as I was leaving for the pool and saw one for sale (#108, I think but I could be wrong) for $2500. It's gone now.
Great price.
Why don't you have your own pool? Or maybe you do... and it's a loooong walk to it
I checked Abe yesterday afternoon and didn't see it, so it might have only been there for a few hours....too bad, I would have def. bought at that price...
I would have sold a kidney to fund such a purchase!

That's why we have two, right? To fund Sai King purchases.

Greg (Shibus) was selling it. He had two, sold one to VeryFineBooks and the other he put on eBay.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
