Found it in pinterest and wordpress. Already sent message to ask the wordpress site whether I can use the image. trying to log on to www.bithslapped.co.uk but couldn't found/access to the website. a lot of website review info of the website. Is it safe for me to use the image still? Can anyone advise me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IP man Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Better to seek permission/license. Copyright subsist 70years after the death of the creator. Especially you’re intending to use it in your book, which I suppose it will be published and sold in the market, better protect yourself. Why don’t you create one yourself. If you gonna use it, how much of the content will be based on that pic? If the creator wants to pursue his infringement rights, it will be based on the portion of you sales/profit on which that pic out of the whole book. Of course there are many grounds of argument.

YELLOW BIRD Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 BEST not to use! I sued one local company about 2 years ago. They got lawyers that specialises in IP to argue. In the end they still have to pay me a lump sum for my illustrations. DON"T PLAY PLAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have make more drastic changes. will I still get sue? If you were the owner of the pictures, will you still sue me?

You don't need a judge to tell you that! I will sue until your pants drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like fried rice - you stirred, you fried, you flipped... a lup cheong is still a lup cheong! What if I recategorize them? There are actually 4 categories of them. first chart with 1st category of 4 positions. 2nd chart with 2nd category of another 3 positions. 3rd chart with 3rd category of another 4 category. and the last chart with the remaining positions. My model has bigger boob and nice pony tail hair. and by dividing them into 4 sub chart. Do you think, you will still want to sue me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehandle Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 for those who are unsure, be it youtube videos or fb posting, tumblr or whatever, always check w the orginal source again and again some organisations are very strict, they wont want their staff event/co. photos taken by organisers, neither do they want to use videos of other sources, they prefer to use their own sources/production Which is why u saw on tv programmes, even brands of the t shirts and brands of certain labels are all masked one has not even face copyright issues of a museum organising an art competition for kids and students, who own the copyright? the museum, the organisers that help the museum, the kids or students who signed on a form to participate but didn't........... mantin30 and Since u r here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
