<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayBee, post: 512239, member: 9259&quot;]I see what you mean, but is it not true that any material published in these forums (as anywhere else) is property of the author(s)/owner(s) and cannot be reproduced, published elsewhere, etc., without the express written consent of said individual(s)?</p><p><br /></p><p>That is always my understanding and assumption. Even if someone might know someone else who might be interested in something (the collection being discussed) would it not be --- if nothing else --- an ethical requirement to ask the owner first if he or she wanted the information forwarded, divulged, or maybe asked if he or she might want to be put in touch with any such third parties?</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it&#039;s just me, but that seems to be the right course of action and behavior to adopt always. We probably all save information for our own reference and use when surfing the internet, doing searches, etc., if something is of particular interest to us; I do. But I will never use any such information without the previous express written consent of the author or owner of a piece, whatever it may be, unless of course there is a release authorization already where that information was made public.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same applies to something posted in these forums, not only photos of objects, but also an opinion, comment, rant, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
