Hi there Just J,
I can see that you have been online and posted on other threads, including starting a new thread. May I please ask you if the information posted in the replies on this thread has been useful to you.
I ask because sometimes some people have been known to confuse plagiarism with copyright infringements.

Good Morning JM,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my enquiry. My interest was to find out if by what I would be doing, I would not later find that I had infringed copyright regulations. Firstly take into account the photograph scenario, the first one I found, smaller in size than the second, has copyright markings all over it also there was not much clarity with the picture. My thinking / mulling over with myself was, I'd like to have that picture framed if the copyright wording was not on it, but then my thoughts were perhaps not ... i.e the markings. Sometime later I came across of a better picture altogether, focusing much better, larger, clearer and no copyright markings. This picture by the way was a mid 1860's riverside view. The picture has a family name interest only, any connection with my name and the picture content has yet to be discovered.
If i had gone straight in and tried to remove the copyright markings, for only my personnel use. I then found another person be wanting a copy.What if, I had supplied. I did not I actually just gave him the details of the second site finding' s. Wondered ever since would / are / we be copyright infringing? ..... hence my enquiry?
I've only been on Roots. for just under a month now, results from the interest of my query will certainly help somebody / me, I find it beneficial. Information freely given like this will probably make them think and look more into what they want to do before any infringement has been made. Surely the subject of copyright has been as a subject before, the knowledge people have on Roots willing to share, and on everything else is just amazing. Thanks everyone.
Regards to all, JUST J
