Posting scanned photographs from books?

Your breaking the copyright laws by making the scan from the book in the first place without permission. Rules for the UK can be found here

Hmmm… that’s a shame, I had a good one lined up for my ‘Forgotten Bombers – Avro Lincoln’ thread and the ‘How low can you go!’ thread. Never mind – glad I checked first. I see from your webpage you’re going through the process of obtaining permission yourself. By the way, do you need any information on the Bloodhounds that where based at North Coates? I have a contact at the flying club there and I believe they have some records of the base… no idea what though.

I know the forum rules state that consent should be obtained before posting copied material, but does that apply to photographs in books; where the book, in turn, credits a particular photographer, or may not even know who the photographer was? My understanding is the photographer always holds the rights (unless they sell them), but in a lot of these cases the photographer is either deceased, or you have no way of knowing how to contact them. If I scanned a photograph from a book and posted it on the forum, as long as I credited the photographer (if known) and gave the book title, would that be OK?

Well whit my library experience, there should always be dredit info found on books, if there is photos shown. Otherwise those books wouldn’t have been puplished at first place….
