Hi Jennyb,

The copyright always stays with the original author/photographer, and the only thing we ask for is non-exclusive rights to reproduce the images anywhere on the site - so basically, a photo in the gallery can be used in the reference section etc.

Here's a couple of places that we've got some of the legal info:

In the rules of the forum when you first register - "We reserve the right to publish member's original content anywhere within the Wild About Britain website without notification."

and in the reference > information > terms and conditions page:

"Copyright and trade marks
