Greetings everyone I was talking about copyright details with a friend of mine a few minutes ago and he presented me the following scenario: Amazon has millions of book covers in their database, most of them having been scanned by themselves. Do they have any kind of rights over those scans (assuming that they have permission from the original authors)? If someone were to open a shop and wanted to use Amazon's the product images, would they require Amazon's permission to do so? How about product descriptions? My first guess would be that yes, Amazon should have rights over those specific scans while the product descriptions would be copyrighted by their original authors. Would anyone be willing to shed some light into this issue? Sincerely, João Pinheiro
