Permission

  • The photo has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above and photo revisions.
  • It was created for publicity purposes-distribution to the media. The image was meant to bring attention and publicity for the personalities pictured, the program he/she was part of and the network it was on, the same as the publicity photos for actors and actresses in the film industry were intended to do.

Film production expert Eve Light Honthaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.):

"Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary."
"There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them." (The Professional Photographer's Legal Handbook By Nancy E. Wolff, Allworth Communications, 2007, p. 55.)
Creative Clearance-Publicity photos archive copy at the Wayback Machine
"Publicity Photos (star headshots) older publicity stills have usually not been copyrighted and since they have been disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain and therefore there is no necessity to clear them with the studio that produced them (if you can even determine who did)."


  • Under the Copyright Act of 1909, works published in many copies without copyright notice are ineligible for copyright protections, and Copyright Act of 1976 may not apply under its Appendixes, with respect, to such works first published under older laws. However, accidental errors and/or accidental omissions of copyright notice in small amount of copies of published works may have been corrected in many other copies at the time of first publication. In this case, "accidental omission" or "accidental error" does not apply.
