Mungo Report post Posted February 12, 2015 There are many internet sites that sell images through clip art and pattern books (some with CDs). If I purchase these, am I buying the right to use these as I please? For example, if I bought an image of a horse could I then copy the horse (and subsequently carve) the image onto a leather book cover and sell it? Thanks.

Bob Blea Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Take a look at the web sites or books terms and conditions. Often they will say 'royalty free' or 'copyright free' artwork if they are distributing it expecting you to use it in your own product. In that case you are fine. Other sites (and I think this is common with photo distributing sites) will require you to pay a use royalty or maintain their copyright when you use it. Dover makes a lot of clip are type books where they explicitly say the material is free for use. In those cases you should be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungo Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks for the reply Bob! Dover is actually one of the publishers I was considering. They seem to have a lot to choose from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
