I did a photo shop and switched out his nice car for a clunker. Hes threatening me with copy write law etc sue me etc.. He has no sense of humor.
Anyway since I feel secure that it was in the public domain and therefore is public domain, so Im not worried. Then I got to thinking Hey! When have I ever been correct about anything and thought maybe I should ask you guys before I get myself in trouble.
The picture is just some other car parked in front of his home which has no house number or name on it.
Thanks.
Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I would.
BECAUSE I'M HARDCORE.
However, there's this wonderful thing known as the Fair Use Clause.
In other words, this individual is retarded.
Proposed retort: "Look up the Fair Use Clause, retard."
There's also the minor fact that his image wasn't copyrighted, and copyright law doesn't even work that way to begin with. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 06-14-2005 at 11:04 PM.

There are two things you should never seek via the internet: legal or medical advice.
And. . .copy write. . . 
?

I'm doubting this guy would actually go throught the time/money of taking you to court over this, whether he actually had a case or not.

I heard that Mr. Gainsborough is a licensed professional.

Not really. There's only a real case if people were making money off of my work or if my work was actually published without permission. I'm not about to sue a bunch of little 15 year olds who use my work on their sites or as avatars.

Actually, that's a myth. There is no requirement to be making money or to publish someone else's work in order to violate copyright. And fair use is more restrictive than most people think. Neither of the examples you gave, for example, would be fair use.

Yea, but let's face it--nobody really cares if there's no money involved.

Actually, that's not always true, either, though more for trademarks than for copyright. Trademarks can be lost if not defended.

Kait thought about the meaning of life:
It rather irritates me when an artist says "No you CAN'T alter or use ANY of my art work for ANYTHING, don't even bother ASKINg 'cuz I'll just say NO." That's just...scary, and conceited to me. I mean, you can't even ask...? What are thy so morbidly afraid of?
On the othr hand, I don't blame artists at all who don't want people taking their art and doing whatever with it, without permission or even telling the artist about it. If I didn't misunderstand Ares and she really doesn't mind people taking her art, then she is the exception to the rule. Most artists are very angered by it.
There are several reasons a lot of artists are like that, and few of them have anything to do with conceit.
And appearances can be deceiving. As even if the asking of permission seems innocent enough, that you dont give it a second thought, and say go ahead, it can come back to bite you in the ass in a very big way.
So really, I wouldn't go blanketing something like that.

Gydyon gave me legal advice once about work. I forgot what it was exactly but he told me to threaten to sue them.
It was like two and a half years ago.

Yes! Don't even ask me for advice! It will get you punched in the face by my hired goons! I mean your bosses!

Shit, that's driving me crazy now. Do you remember what that was? You PMed me all, "well if they're doing that then keep records and tell them you're 'weighing your options'," or something like that and for the life of me I can't remember what it was.
I think they were raping you while you were sleeping. Or cutting your hours or something like that. One of the two.

I didn't say that they necessarily say "no" out of arrogance. It's merely so annoying when one has found the perfect sigpic, forum avatar, etc., but has absolutely no chance of obtaining permission to use it.
And if you're saying most artists don't mind if people use their work without permission, then I don't know who you are friends with, but the several hundred artists [i]I've[/i} conferred with on the matter do not hold your same opinion. Note, I did say "if."

No, I'm merely saying you made a blanket statment on the conceit of artists without having a clue why many are even like that. Who my friends are, or aren't, doesn't really matter. You obviously are superior with your hundreds of artist contacts that you have dealt with. Much like celebrities, I guess artists should feel required to bend to your whims and views on how they contribute to satisfy you in order for you to be happy about it.
I already gave one example of why many artists are the way they are about thier artwork, I could give you many more, but you hurt my brain and it would be a waste of time. For your reference though, almost all artists keep what they call junk work which they throw out there for just about anything. Most artists will only get vehemently protective of special works, characters, or pieces along those lines. Faelynn LeAndris fucked around with this message on 06-16-2005 at 04:24 PM.

It's nice to see someone is keeping the old traditions alive.. what with all these threats to sue over the most trivial of matters, its always refreshing to see that someone still relies on the personal touch only hired goons can provide.
