You asked about copyright protection for the photos and I'm not exactly sure what you are concerned about, so maybe you could help me? I think you are asking if you can use the photos posted on the site for your own personal or business use? Is that correct? If that is the case, I think you would probably have to take that up with the individual owners of the photos. Just like the photos, graphics, etc on pretty much ANY website, you have to get permission before you can use those images for yourself. This isn't really something I've thought about, but if you'd like me to contact one or more of the photo submitters, please let me know. Maybe we can work something out. I've also just added a Privacy Policy with some of the basics about photo copyright, etc http://21bikes.com/privacy-policy/ This is the part you are interested in: By submitting your photo to 21Bikes.com, you are giving us permission to use your photo however we please. However, we will contact you to ask for permission prior to using your photo outside of the 21Bikes.com website. By submitting your photo to 21Bikes.com, you in no way lose ownership of the photo. You are the owner of all photos you upload to 21Bikes.com and you can do with your photo as you please. Adding your photo to 21Bikes.com is supposed to be fun! If you are worried about submitting your photo to the site for any reason, we encourage you not to upload your photo. If you would like to remove your photo from our site, simply contact us using the information found at the bottom of this page. Be sure to mention your name, the name of your photo post, and your email address so that we can easily find your photo and notify you once the photo has been removed. Based on your question, it looks like I might have to add some more here. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this section of the privacy policy, please let me know. And if you'd like more info on using one of the photos that is posted on the site, feel free to email me back and explain further. Thanks! Thanks for leaving a comment about my site at 21Bikes.com.

Just one concern I have about the photos that people send to you - Are they subject to copyright, or can they be freely downloaded? If each photo is subject to copyright - Who is the owner, and how can he/she be contacted? Hi Darren,
