Would I be correct in assuming that these professionally taken photographs are not available for reuse? (i.e. in my own (noncommercial) video remixes, posted on my blog, printed out, etc)

Thanks; I notice that MLRC website photos also have ZAP tag embedded - do similar restrictions apply to those photos as well?

(to clarify, I'm not a pro so I don't really have "needs"  - just occasional "whims" to link an image or incorporate it into clumsy attempts to mix things - so a general explanation such as this is much better then me bugging you guys every time I get a crazy idea:). For now, I'll just stay away from the site, lest I get tempted (the site looks real sleek though - great job!) )

(Thanks - I appreciate the effort to explain ; however, I've been around the 'net for a while , and it is precisely because of my understanding of the value of copyrighted works to their owners that I wanted a clarification. By linking to an image, I meant to original html page or frameset (however the author wished it to be viewed; of course that's impossible with Flash galleries, but that's a whole other issue/rant;) ), not embedding somebody else's image in my own page - I have more then enough storage for that, as I host my own videos etc as needed:). In other words, I hope it is indication of my good manners (or at least good will:)) that I asked for the owner to specify which usage they allow and which they do not - only by knowing that can I be sure not to trespass in any way, as general netiquette will only take you so far and different people/companies have different tresholds:))

Cheers
