After watching this fascinating debate about concern for images on the web.
I just wanted to remind museum-l subscribers of the RARIN website (Rights &
Reproduction Information Network).  This is a website exclusively for
museum people having to deal with related issues).

http://www.panix.com/~squigle/rarin/01rcsite.html

The website has the obligatory links to law (US and foreign), a
bibliography, some papers - but it also has links to the Isabella Stuart
Gardner survey on fees, a useful table on when it's in copyright and when
it's not, LOTS of forms that can be used as models for museums, pointers to
specific museums' websites where the institutions' R&R policies are
outlined and even a guide to creating digital images.  Check it out.

If you have something you would like to add - let me know.  Don't miss the
all-day preconference (AAM), hands on RARIN copyright workshop this year in
Baltimore.
