Editor's Notes
- Source of copyright law is found in the constitution. It permits Congress to make laws to protect and enforce copyright.
- All creators, including photographers and illustrators are entitled to be paid if their work is used, commercially or otherwise. This encourages creativity and makes more images available for use.
- Under the current law, copyright attaches upon creation. It is a federal system, which means that the same law applies in every state. A significant change from the prior act is that the creator is presumed the owner in most situations.
- Koons v. Art Rogers Sculpture artist Jeff Koons lost this copyright infringement case. The artist asserted it was fair use to change a photograph into a 3 dimensional work without obtaining a license. The court disagreed finding that substantial copyrightable elements were borrowed despite the change in medium.
- Public Domain is very misunderstood-since 1978 copyright attaches upon creation. Cannot assume that any work on the internet is public domain The formality of copyright notice is no longer required under US law and never required in most foreign countries, one cannot assume that any work without notice can be used. Altering an image is an exclusive right of the copyright owner and requires permission almost all the time. Any unauthorized use is an infringement whether you profit or not
