Canadian Copyright

[servicepub (RIP)]

Moving away (slightly) from the copyright question. I have noted that some GM photos are numbered in identical series and fashion to Ford photos. This implies that the photos were taken buy a third agency - possibly DND. Do you have any knowledge of this?
I could guess that the Army would want a photographic record of vehicles, components, assembly, fixtures, facilities, etc... but then we find all sorts of "PR" photos. These PR photos include parking lots full of CMPs, panoramic shots, etc... and it would be unlikely that DND would care about these so the implication is that the photos were taken by the companies.
This only becomes important when issues of "Intellectual Property" arise. If the photos were taken by and for DND then the copyright has expired. If they were taken by and for the companies, copyright has still expired but they may "control" the use of their photos.
Dave, I am chasing down the corporate permission for the photos we discussed and should have an answer in a few days.
