Is there anyone I can talk to about copyrights?
I found a posting on my brother's computer and it as dated in 2010. It said Detroit Iron on it and it showed cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s. My brother recently passed, his wife doesn't know how to use a computer, and I'd like to copy some of these photos but don't know if anything is copyrighted or not. Can someone help me plese?

Looks to me like Detroit Iron is a company that publishes old service or owners’ manuals. So the car images may have come from the automakers way back when.
If you only want the images for personal enjoyment, you should be OK copying them to a new computer. If you want to publish them / make money off of them, that’s when it becomes a little more complicated. But for personal use, you should be fine.
Hope that helps. …
