- Support Pristine. The thing with Dr. Macro is, though, one doesn't know if a © is printed on the back of the poster, am I correct? And Dr. Macro (forgot his real name) doesn't get to see the actual object as most scans are user submitted. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 17:06, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- I remember asking about this on Commons, and the consensus was that posters would typically not have anything on the back side (save money, among others). All the posters I've seen while browsing Doctor Macro (a good several hundred, of which at least a hundred are now on Commons) which do have copyright notices have them on the front. It's so consistent that I can usually tell if there is a copyright notice just by looking at the studio and year (anything by WB released after the mid-1930s, for instance, will have a copyright notice). MGM took much longer to wise up to their responsibilities under the then-new copyright law. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:09, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
