photo copyrights expiration date?

A work that is created (fixed in tangible form for the first time) on or after January 1, 1978, is automatically protected from the moment of its creation and is ordinarily given a term enduring for the author's life plus an additional 70 years after the author's death. In the case of "a joint work prepared by two or more authors who did not work for hire," the term lasts for 70 years after the last surviving author's death. For works made for hire, and for anonymous and pseudonymous works (unless the author's identity is revealed in Copyright Office records), the duration of copyright will be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.\n\nUnder the law in effect before 1978, copyright was secured either on the date a work was published with a copyright notice or on the date of registration if the work was registered in unpublished form. In either case, the copyright endured for a first term of 28 years from the date it was secured. During the last (28th) year of the first term, the copyright was eligible for renewal. The Copyright Act of 1976 extended the renewal term from 28 to 47 years for copyrights that were subsisting on January 1, 1978, or for pre-1978 copyrights restored under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), making these works eligible for a total term of protection of 75 years. Public Law 105-298, enacted on October 27, 1998, further extended the renewal term of copyrights still subsisting on that date by an additional 20 years, providing for a renewal term of 67 years and a total term of protection of 95 years.\n\nPublic Law 102-307, enacted on June 26, 1992, amended the 1976 Copyright Act to provide for automatic renewal of the term of copyrights secured between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977. Although the renewal term is automatically provided, the Copyright Office does not issue a renewal certificate for these works unless a renewal application and fee are received and registered in the Copyright Office.\n\nPublic Law 102-307 makes renewal registration optional. Thus, filing for renewal registration is no longer required in order to extend the original 28-year copyright term to the full 95 years. However, some benefits accrue from making a renewal registration during the 28th year of the original term.

Approx. 35 yrs. \n\nThey will most probably not give you their copy. They will only give it over when in their best interest or in court order.

your local library should have newspaper on file. You can look it up and get a photo copy. \nIf its a paper different from your place/state try online. Most newspapers have archives now. There is a small fee for it.

There isn't one. If you're using it online, make sure you input both the VALID FROM and EXPIRES dates, and you'll be fine.

I don't think you can get a patent for images, but you can copyright them.  And no, not all images are copyrighted - but some are.  If they are, usually there will be a copyright warning either on the page or on the image itself.

The copyright does belong to the photographer, unless that person has assigned rights, and then the copyright belongs to the current rightsholder.\n\nYou may have your own state rights, such as a right of publicity, that could keep others from distributing photos where you are the subject. \n\nIn general, though, just because you're in the picture does not mean you have the copyright.\n\nAnd yes, there is a copyright, even if the photograph or the page does not say so.

Yes, it would be very easy to make a case for violation of copyright for you using someone else's picture without permission. Quite a few people won't pursue it, but it is an option.\nThe best way is to email the webmaster (or copyright holder) for permission to use it; if you get the permission save the picture to your own server (so you aren't stealing their bandwidth), and then link using the img tag. To give proper credit, you should probably include a copyright statement, either as a caption near the picture, or in the title attribute of the img tag, like...\n<img src="pic.jpg" title="Copyright © (date), (copyright holder's name and website), Used with permission">
