But they are photographs

Posted on December 19, 2007, 8:00 am, by Craig Silverman, under Newspapers.

In Sunday’s Books section, in an article about the book John & Yoko: A New York Love Story, it was incorrectly stated that the photographs “are in the public domain for the first time.” All the photographs in the book are in fact copyrighted and not in the public domain. Also, to clarify, a series of photographs of Lennon and Ono walking through Central Park has in part previously been published. Link

    Oh Lordy… I can’t stand it when “public domain” is used incorrectly.

    There are a lot of people who think that anything that is provided online is automatically in the public domain. Some have made shady millions by ignoring copyright law, at least as it pertains to content providers too poor to engage lawyers. Ebaumsworld is the worst, but there are others.

    In this case, I believe the original writers’ intention was probably “released to the public for the first time”, ie: a question of availablility, rather than licensing.
