Default Concerning source images.

sometimes you stumble upon real cool pictures you'd like to use in your art. you modify it with some filters and make a poster out of it.
the original photographer sees it. what can he do?

"An artwork is normally assessed in quality by the amount of stimulation it brings about. The impact it has on people, the number of people that can relate to it, the degree of their appreciation, and the effect or influence it has or has had in the past, all accumulate to the 'degree of art.' Most artworks that are widely considered to be "masterpieces" possess these attributes." - Frank Kozik

i'm trying to get out of the "found art" mentality. i like the look of a lot of old pics, etc...but when it comes right down to it, you're stealing... and if that piece is reproduced and sold or published, you are putting yourself at risk.

however, if you're just making 11x17 xerox flyers for a punk show, i wouldn't sweat it...

but-if you make money off of it, look out.

Default in court - the question is

Yep - in court - the question is whether or not you made a profit off of it. Why Kazaa and other shareware application are under fire - but can't do anything to the hoarding downloader.

I think you're ok if the picture was printed in 1923 or earlier.

Here is a good site with lots of copyright info and links:
