In most museums (at least where I live, in the Netherlands), you can
take your camera into a musuem and take pictures fo the artworks they
have on display (without a flash though).

If you do this, can I have a copy of the photo you take please?

I want to make a CD to sell on eBay.

If he posts it on the internet I bet he wouldn't mind in the least, but you
wouldn't have any rights to sell it. That is exactly what all the photos on the
internet are for, for everyone in the world to view them. Only an idiot would
think that they have a way to keep the low-resolution image from being
duplicated or that they somehow still have any distribution control over that
downsized copy that they posted. It's duplicated through a dozen servers and
routes every time anyone views it, and a copy is saved to anyone's cache that
views it. You lost the control to the smaller image the very moment you posted
it to the net. Now if you wanted the original full resolution copy you'd
probably have to ask him. Then you'd have to work out a deal for distribution
rights. Having the original full resolution copy is often used to prove when
someone else is trying to financially benefit off of your work.

Compile all the CDs that you want of images from the net. Guess how many buyers
you're going to get -- NONE. Since those images are already free to anyone. The
only person you could sell it to would be another idiot like yourself.

Get a clue, idiot.

I swear the average IQ and common-sense level of the internet drops hourly.

By the way, sobriquet, if the images that you want to archive for yourself are
contained in SWF files, there are many flash decompilers available that do just
that. They take apart the data in an SWF file and save it as their original
components. You need only retrieve the SWF file from your browser's cache then
run it through a flash decompiler.

I do this often to see how some things are done.

There are also "save flash" utilities that save flash animations and movies from
web pages so you don't even have to look in your cache for the respective files.
Do searches for "flash decompiler" or "save flash utility".

It seems they have the fullsize pics stored on the site cut up in
fragments like this:

http://beeldbank.amsterdam.nl/cgi-bin/getpic?/media/topview/01/ams/07...

(same ashttp://tinyurl.com/2edpv9)

I'm now using webreaper on the site and perhaps I can figure out to
create a photoshop macro or something to re-assemble the fragments...
if I'm lucky enough that webreaper will be able to download the
content of the site.





Perhaps this project to rip beeldbank.amsterdam.nl is a bit too
ambitious, because I see it contains 227153 images (prolly most are
over 1 MP).
