    Hi All,

    I am listing my property, and is using the pictures downloaded from realestate.com.au from the  seller, when he listed the last time.

    The pictures are taken by a professional photographer, and the pictures show their personal belongings.

    Any copyright issues if i will to just use the pictures?

    Cheers
    Nit

    Commonsense suggests that it would be copyright, but in the interests of accuracy:

    At the bottom of the realestate.com.au home page there is a link for "Legal" which takes you here;
    http://www.rs.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=v&t=res&id=13

    Under the heading "Copyright" it reads:
    "The subject matter on and accessible from our Websites and publications is copyright. "

    There is your answer.

    Yes, copyright is held by the photographer (unless they assign it )- whether there is a notice or not. They may not mind however so you can ask if you can use the photos.

    Just ask the photographer – they might be happy to oblige. They might also ask for a small fortune :(
