How do I find the copyright holder of an image?
I uploaded the image Robert W. Cort, but it was deleted because I apparently didn't give the right licensing/copyright info. How can I find the copyright information for a photo?

In this situation... I found the image here: http://imgs.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2003/06/22/pk_industry.jpg I know that the image was used for the author photo in Robert Cort's 2003 novel "ACTION!" I know that the photographer credited for this photo is Lance Stadler. I know Robert Cort very well personally, have seen him many times, have worked for him, and so I know that the Robert Cort in this photo is the same Robert Cort (aka Robert W. Cort) that matches the info on the Wikipedia page for Robert W. Cort. I know that Robert Cort is the copyright holder of the book "ACTION!: a novel." Does that mean he's the copyright holder of this image? If so, how can I prove that he's given me permission to use it on Wikipedia?

Here's the book's copyright info: http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=1&ti=1,1&SAB1=Robert%20Cort&BOOL1=all%20of%20these&FLD1=Keyword%20Anywhere%20%28GKEY%29%20%28GKEY%29&GRP1=AND%20with%20next%20set&SAB2=ACTION%21&BOOL2=as%20a%20phrase&FLD2=Keyword%20Anywhere%20%28GKEY%29%20%28GKEY%29&CNT=100&PID=b5yMq6hd5l4cQ0PtmXvAzbEPk8ZE&SEQ=20111101222518&SID=1

 * I think that it may take a long time for this question to be answered here, so I would suggest that you ask it at Media copyright questions where you'll find editors with a lot of experience in this area. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 19:30, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
