Just a note of clarification: simply because something was "commissioned" by the government does not mean it negotiated for ownership rights. Accordingly, it is possible (though in this case not likely), that the painter of the original poster held the copyright.<BR/><BR/>In the 1940's works of authorship were subject to 2 28-year terms of copyright (the law changed in the 70's). The owner had to renew the copyright after the first 28 year term in order to be eligible for a second term. Thus, IF the copyright was held by the creator of the work, he would have had to (1) register it in the first place, and (2) renew it after 28 years in order for it to have continued to remain a protected work.<BR/><BR/>IF the owner of the copyright did renew it both times, it would have been subject to the new copyright laws, and would still be under protection in 2005. Since there has been no enforcement of the image of Rosie the Riveter to date (meaning there have been no law suits filed against 3rd parties using the image), it's unlikely that it is a protected image.<BR/><BR/>-- tsan abrahamson (tsan@sweepslaw.com), February 21, 2005.

Quite the contrary, in fact. Seller, yes, cheerleader, no. <BR/><BR/>I just loathe hypocrites and this place is lousy with them. PD obviously sees it too as do many, many others. (You won't read those conversations on Etsy but they do take place elsewhere.) <BR/><BR/>Here's another example of the hypocrisy. It's wrong to be an Etsy cheerleader but Etsy Bitch cheerleaders are patted on the head and greeted with open arms. Even if they have empty heads and nothing of substance to contribute, as long as they go along with the program and post comments that blandly echo the majority opinion, they're golden. <BR/><BR/>I know that at least one of the bitches understands that the "do as we say, not as we do" attitude detracts from the message and makes it impossible for anyone to take you truly seriously.
