I was thinking about that selling of the sigs and stuff...is that legal? Considering you haven't paid to use those pictures and then you go and basically sell them...
just something maybe to look into before you get in trouble.
when i make a sig you supply the graphics or photos - i do not - as far as all the alex bach ones --- i was employed by alex's management to make the graphics i made for them - as for the vanessa ones on my site - i did not charge people for those - in the future if you want a sig made you need to supply the images you would like ...you are paying me for my time and not the actual images.... legally you are responsible for what you supply me with...
That's the right idea steph, but legally it doesn't hold up.
Why do you think Kinko's refuses to make copies of copyrighted material?
If you use the copyrighted images to make something for someone you are responsible for taking 'reasonable action' to ensure that they have the rights to those images. Even if that is just asking that person 'do you have the rights to this'.
Yes, that's nitpicky, but that is how the law works. You have to remove your own liability by asking the person. Then it is his or her problem if he or she lies to you.
So if someone submits a picture to you to make a sig or t-shirt out of and you KNOW he or she did not take that picture, protect yourself by asking.
