Sometimes you just need to trust the pilot.

Curiosity, would copyright laws prevent someone from posting pictures in this manner if they weren't claiming them as their own? Im not disputing it, I was just curious, as many people daily put pictures in posts on BBs.

It depends.  Some pictures are in the public domain and can be freely posted without violating copyright.  Others, such as in books, or noted on a business or personal WEB site, cannot be posted without epxress consent from the copyright holder.

Typically, the pics with a copyright imbedded in them require consent to be used.  I have had more than a few people contact us about copyright violations and have had to deal with that.

People need to stay aware.  Just because it is on a WEB page does not make it free to use.

The photos from airliners.net would have been uploaded by the original photographer onto a website for the world to see.  Can't speak for the Chinook pictures.

[Skuzzy]

If that was the case, the photographer should have removed the copyright from the pictures.  The fact it remains usually means they were used with permission by the site, which does not neccessarily make them public domain.

It is not uncommon for sites to have agreements with people so they can display the work.  It does not mean they can be freely published to any site on the Internet.

Iti s always best to ask before making the assumption they are free to use.

Skuzzy,

The user doesn't add the copyrights.  Airliners.net adds those to all of the photos that are uploaded and were not added by the photographer directly unless there's a watermark or some other addition to the image unrelated to the bottom border with the photographer and copyright information.  I have a few photos on there and they all had that information added to them without anything done on my end as a photographer.
