<p>I know this is two years later from the discussion, but when you go to purchase one of the photographs off of Getty (Michael Ochs Collection) you always have to find the third party to get permission. I became suspicious and found many of the photographs are in the Public Domain. You can get this information from the copyright office in Washington, D.C.</p>
Hello Joyce - I have found some photo's of my Village and I run the Village website. I looked at the cost of Getty Images and was shocked just how much they cost. My website is a non-profit website so I was interested to read that you found a number of the images are 'Public Domain'. Ho would I go about find if the village photo's are indeed 'public domain'? I see you mention copyright office in Washington DC - Is there a link I could follow to find out as I am in the UK. Many thanks. Tristan. www.sheredelight.com
