Changing Pictures
As the nephew of the late opera singer Lily Pons, I would like to change her main picture, replacing it with a 1943 picture she had autographed and given to her mother, my grandmother Marie Pons, but I am not sure ow to do it. My email address is jdebry@historicalarchaeology.org. Thank you.


 * Hi Archeodive. The main question to consider in any such circumstances is: who owns the copyright to the picture? In general, the copyright will belong to the photographer, not the subject, and since the copyright on a 1943 image won't have expired yet, chances are the photographer or his/her estate still owns the rights to the picture. You would need to provide evidence that either:
 * the photographer or their estate has released the image for free reuse, alteration, sale and redistribution, or
 * the photographer or their estate has relinquished the copyright to the image and placed it in the public domain, or
 * the photographer or their estate has relinquished the copyright to you and that you release the image for free reuse, alteration, sale and redistribution.
 * You can send such evidence to . The text would need to be something like that at Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Please see the instructions on donating copyrighted materials for more information. Note that ownership of the physical image does not imply ownership of the copyright, and it is the copyright ownership and status that determines whether an image can be legally used here.

I am her nephew, so I should know... I am the only direct relative living in the United States, and yes, I am an archaeologist. John de Bry 22:34, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
