Hey, everyone :)
I am currently in a situation where I am asking a buyer to cancel the order due to possibility of copyright violation. I have been trying to read up on some of the image content copyright allowance but is celebrities any part of of the copyright law? All I am reading is that it's a grey area, and if you are using it to make money of off it's against the law. I'm only altering the background, and I'm not claiming it as mine. I had another one the other day I had to cancel because he was grabbing random images of the www and most of it was art work. The one I am taking to now looks like he ripped them out of a magazine. I can see some of the crack in the paper edge lol. I am waiting for his response, but was wondering if you guys could chime me in a little bit and give me confidence that I am in the right.
