How do you post things to Instagram, Imgur, or Flickr without losing
one's copyright?

I don't know that anything I have is worth anything financially but I do
want the credit. My name or my father's name accompanying every
properly used use of the photo.

Right now, two things are on the horizon. I'm transcribing my father's
trip diary from a trip he took in 1936, and I'm scanning the photos he
took on the trip.

I'm his only surviving heir. And my mother left everything he left her
to me. Does that mean I myself have any rights regarding these things?

Even if I have no rights to the pictures, since no one can get into my
house and copy them, I have the vague idea that I'd have rights to the
scanned copy I plan to make of them, for posting online, and that those
rights would last as long and be as strong as if I'd taken the pictures
myself. Am I right at all?

And how do I post these pictures and the separate text to Instagram,
Imgur, or Flickr without losing my copyrights?

Thanks

In real life terms you can't:

"Instagram does not claim ownership of any Content that you post on or
through the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to Instagram a
non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable,
sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or
through the Service, subject to the Service's Privacy Policy"

The wordings may have been changed but hardly the practical implications.

Not as understood by most folks since they get to use and sell them as
they please.

Cute, but even though you can sell your content yourself Instagram can
too... And if they do then there is not much value in it left if the
"contents" value is based on exclusivity or first usage.

I was afraid of that. Is there any way before I post it to write over
in the corner of the pictures my father's name or my name? And the
copyright symbol?

I hate writing things in the corner and when it was chemical and not
reversible, I never put the date in the corner of a picture. I think it
ruins the art. But most of these pictures are more about history than
art anyhow. Come to think of it, they should have the date printed on
them too, for the record, and if I'm going to do that, I can put my
father's name, assuming there is a method not too expensive to do that.

I think there are between 40 and 80 photographs.

You don't "lose" your copyright, but you make it easy for people to
violate it.

I don't know that anything I have is worth anything financially but I do
want the credit. My name or my father's name accompanying every
properly used use of the photo.

Was the copyright registered and renewed? If not, copyright may not
exist in your father's 1936 photos. See
https://sunsteinlaw.com/practices/co...elopment/copyr
ight-pointers/copyright-flowchart/

The only way to ensure that no one takes your photos is to keep them
private; don't put them on the Internet. A watermark might help, but it
doesn't guarantee anything and, as you note, may destroy the aesthetic
properties of the photos.

Me? I don't worry about this issue; I publish my photos under a
Creative Commons license
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/.

I seriously doubt that you will have much protection if you use Instagram, or
Imgur regardless of what might be stated in their terms of service. Using
ether of those and you are effectively surrendering any rights you might
hold.

Flickr, and other sites such as Smugmug probably afford you better protection
of your rights, but that does not mean that they will not be vulnerable to
image poachers.

https://www.flickr.com/services/api/tos/

I would use Flickr, or Smugmug exclusively.
Remember that you have added an additional level of intellectual rights by
making digital scans of analog images in which you have inherited rights.


I don't know that anything I have is worth anything financially but I do

properly used use of the photo.

My suggestion is to add a Creative Commons License, with you as the copyright
holder to the metadata of the scanned image files. I use a CC by-nc-sa for my
photos especially if I have shared them online. There are different types of
free CC licenses. You can find out more he

Yes, and your scanning of the images enhances their value, and extends your
rights with regard to those specific images.

Even if I have no rights to the pictures, since no one can get into my
house and copy them, I have the vague idea that I'd have rights to the
scanned copy I plan to make of them, for posting online, and that those
rights would last as long and be as strong as if I'd taken the pictures
myself. Am I right at all?

Yes.

Instagram, and Imgur will do nothing to protect your rights, in fact you are
granting them a perpetual license to use your images as the see fit. Flickr
will lay no claim on your images and you will always retain full ownership.

Thanks
