A common misconception, but it's not true. Whether or not you use the image to make money (or even if you just charge money to cover the expenses of publishing and don't make anything) is irrelevant to whether you have the right to publish the image in the first place. (If that doesn't make sense, consider that if you give away my work for free, you are still potentially damaging my ability to earn money from my own work, if I so choose. You have also violated my right to control or even prohibit the distribution of my work, which is independent of monetary issues.) Another common misconception: As long as you give credit by naming the creator, you can publish it without asking permission. Not true. That frees you from a charge of plagiarism, but not from copyright restrictions. That said, if you don't ask for money and you give credit, and you get called into court, the fact that you showed good intent and didn't profit may reduce or eliminate the amount of money the court makes you pay. --Robin _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
