Image rights pages

Hi! I responded to your question about 'French PD after 1923' on my Talk page. Have to say I admire what you're doing. There's a lot of criticism of CP about copyright, and it's completely appropriate that some attention is paid to this issue here. Most of those odd-named image_rights categories are (I think) Rebollo_fr's creations. He has a wealth of old advertising, and it must be said it's sometimes the only source of a picture of a camera. In some cases, I believe there are advertisements for cameras that may not even have been produced. Others are good for showing (say) what variety of lenses was offered, or what cameras were comparable in price. I think such uses are completely defensible as scholarly, but excessive use for decoration is considerably less so. Cheers! --Dustin McAmera 10:11, 24 March 2011 (PDT)
