What is the definition of commercial?  In the instance I'm talking about, the 
hobby is railway modelling (usually as friendly and non-competitive as you 
get) and the photos in question are a set reproduced at 
http://www.ngrail.co.uk, of someone's layout.  There's nothing commercial 
involved, so would that make any difference?

One thing I forgot to add is that I'm in the UK, so does anyone know if there 
are differences between UK and US law?

Thanks,
Peter
