(Off topic) What are the rules for copyrighted downloaded Photos.

[Anonymous]

I upload most of my photos to Photobucket.com,Webshots,Yahoo and rrpicturearchives.net. How do these web sites treat you when downloading photos to their site? Are those photos protected by a copyright? Can anyone explain to me how this all works. Thanks.

Read the rules for a given site - most all of them specify the copyright remains with the photographer.
Have been a few instances of folks downloading images and claiming them as their own - fortunately not heard of this happening often.

Sorry for being anal, Allan, but the correct term is UPloading (consider your PC as the low man on the totem pole), and most of the photo storage sites do mark your photos as copyrighted by you.  rrpicturearchives.net certainly does that, anyway.  A few of the sites might even have options that you can change in your profile for how you want your pictures marked.

Sorry. I corrected it now. Thanks.
