I tried having a couple pics from this thread that I liked printed, but they wouldn't do it cuz the pics are copyrighted. Didn't even think about that...

Typing in "Old Car Ads" in google gives you a multitude of sites displaying old advertising pics all of which are copyrighted, Flickr too is full of all sorts of vintage advertising, but none of this stuff is being displayed by the original owners yet it is all in the public domain and nobody is in trouble for it.
If sites like this one http://www.adclassix.com/a3/67chevro...ckuptruck.html can sell them, then why can't you as an individual have one blown up for your own private use....I don't understand it.
If those new bills go through then it's all over anyway.
