Explanations about older publicity releases InfoField	Film production expert Eve Light Honthaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.): Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary. The Professional Photographer's Legal Handbook By Nancy E. Wolff, Allworth Communications, 2007, p. 55: There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them. Creative Clearance-Publicity photos" Publicity Photos (star headshots) older publicity stills have usually not been copyrighted and since they have been disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain and therefore there is no necessity to clear them with the studio that produced them (if you can even determine who did).

A search was done in publication renewals for the years 1972 and 1973. There were no listings for the title Foto Bo Arrhed; there's no evidence this material is under copyright.
Photo source states: "This photograph originates from the International Magazine Services photo archive. IMS was a editorial photo archive in Scandinavia founded in 1948 but evolved from older archives that have images in the collection also. The archive is in great condition and been in storage for a long time and the images in the collection are now being sold off one by one," and says the following about copyright: "By purchasing a photo from IMSPIX Images, copyright does not transfer. We are selling these photos as collectibles only and no copyright is implied."
