I think the company wasn’t truthful with you, saying they held a copyright to
a 1914 poster. At best, I think the copyright ran out long ago. Now, maybe
they somehow have a copyright for some form of the image, but not the original
poster.</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But, copyrights can be renewed as many times as the
original owner wants.</FONT><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
