copyright/royalty-free photos
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:54 am
Hi Everyone
...my first message - sorry its on a boring topic.
I've looked through the forums for info on sources of photos for webteases (I have some ideas in mind), and I came across some useful lists of sites.
However, I could find nothing definitive on the legal side. I doubt if most of these sites are copyright-free, though there are some advertised as 'royalty-free' - but you have to buy the photos (then you can use them without royalties, I guess).
Has Milovana ever been threatened with being sued?
If I use photos illegally on a Milovana tease, who is responsible - me, or Milovana?
Sorry if this is a bit negative!
BTW I see webteases as a creative 'mashup', rather like music sampling (but those guys have to pay for samples, I assume)
Best wishes, and thanks for an inventive site!
