Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Pennsylvania

Re: Concert Photos

Did you buy all copyrights (c) to the photos as well? If not you run the risk of infringement litigation.

Re: Concert Photos

In general, the photographer owns the copyright to his photos, and when he sells someone a print of the photo it doesn't necessarily mean he's selling the right to make copies of it.

If someone wishes to reproduce a copy of a copyrighted work, he would need permission from the owner of the copyright.

For works created since 1989, the copyright is automatic, and the work needn't even include a copyright notice. For works created in the time period you mention, then if they were published without a copyright notice, it's possible that maybe there is no copyright. It would depend on a variety of factors, and this would be ripe for you to discuss with an attorney who is knowledgable about copyright, especially as the law existed at that time.
