I'd like to do a shoot based on the Pink Floyd Back Catalogue print. I'd like to use that idea and instead have Radiohead covers. Can I do this? Or...do I need to contact all sorts of people affiliated with the band/Stanley Donwood? Aug 14 06 03:48 am Link Shandra wrote: As a general rule an idea [or concept] is not copyrightable. You can attempt to replicate the "look" and "feel" of the images though the closer to an actual copy you get the more potential difficulty you invite.

If you're doing it as a tribute, or art, I doubt anyone will come after you. Aug 14 06 05:45 am Link Thyronne wrote: Actually, if it is only the idea and not a replication, there is never an issue. You can publish the image and it is fully copyrightable. Aug 14 06 07:40 am Link I can't wait!! Aug 23 06 01:26 am Link |
