Online Business Royalties
My question is regarding sites that offer licensed images for print?
My question is regarding Royalty-Free Clip Art and Stock Images. I have read that you may purchase royalty-free clip art and stock images on discs (or download) to use without restriction, commercially and privately – on business cards, websites, personal scrapbooks and project. The only purpose you cannot use royalty-free images for is to start your own clip art business; you do not have the right to resell or lease the clip art to others.
Then how does a company like Got Print (www.gotprint.com) and CauseKeepers offer licensed logos and images for the Quick Designer? This is where you build your business card online.
Is it because they are selling business cards with the image, and not the image itself?
How would you be able to use the same image on a letterhead or brochure? (keeping in mind the article I read said Business Cards).
Thanks~
You’ll probably find that these firms have came to some sort of licensing deal with the owners of the logos concerned–at least, that’s how it normally works here in Scotland.
Where the legal and rightful owners of the logo cannot be traced, a notice is (normally) printed/mounted in “prominent locations” (i.e. someplace where the rightful owners have a chance of seeing and responding to it) and if, after a “timely period” (usually set by a court), the image concerned is deemed to be “CU”–copyright unenforceable–and the user is allowed to use it.
If, however, after publication, someone DOES come forward to claim ownership of said image, then it would be down to a court to decide whether the “timely period” and “prominent locations” were sufficient or not.
In other words, that’s how the system operates here. I’d advise you get legal advice on this in your own jurisdiction to absolutely make sure you’re in the right. Nobody needs litigation of any kind down the track!!!
Hope This of Help
