| I received a letter from Chess Cafe virtually identical to the letter
described in
http://www.angelfire.com/games/SBChess/criminal.html
This letter claimed that Edward Winter has a copyright on a picture of
Raymond Weinstein published on my website and, by posting this picture
on my website I had violated Winter's copyright.
I wrote back pointing out that this particular of Raymond Weinstein had
appeared in a 1961 issue of Chess Review magazine. I also personally
knew Raymond Weinstein.
In short, it was Winter who was violating a copyright by copying this
picture, not me.
I never heard from Edward Winter or from ChessCafe on this subject
again.
Just because Edward Winter scans pictures found in old chess magazines,
that does not give him a copyright to those pictures.
