Hi,
I have some old postcards copyrighted by the E.C. Kropp Company, and i
was wondering if they were still around in some form. I know that the
cards are from the 1930s and 40s and want to use them on a school web
site i am working on. Cause of copyright regulations, i need to have
approval from the copyright holder (kropp). In looking on the
internet, i didn't find any information about the company. thanks for
any assistance you can provide.

E.C. Kropp was a Milwaukee firm, long out of business. But
someone no doubt bought their copyrights.

Postcard images are on the Internet every day by the
thousands, and I've never heard of a copyright holder objecting.
Worst case, they'd send you a "cease and desist" request,
and you'd comply. Case closed. You don't seek to make
commercial use of the image. You're only showing an item
you own to a wider audience than you could by hanging it
in your window. I think the "fair use doctrine" covers that.
Courtesy dictates (to me) that I identify the publisher
and/or copyright owner along with every postcard image I post
on my Web pages. Any publishers still in business get free
advertising, so why would they object? //bp

Bill,
Thanks for your information. I guess I am just overly cautious when it
comes to copyright issues. But you are correct, fair use should cover
the small amount of images I was planning on using.
Thanks,
John
