Josef Wienerroither Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have a curious question here: Lets say i do an interior rendering which contains some small picture frames on a sideboard. I talk about really small here, the size of A5 in a complete 360 pano interior rendering. Let's assume those depict marylin monroe and albert einstein ( both pretty well known photographs ). Is this problematic ? If yes - what if a take a picture of my flat where i have those two posters on the wall and put it on my website ? This would be problematic too then? I'm not looking for a exact legal advice, just for opinion from people more familiar with the matter. I'll look to find a replacement for those two motives anyways ...

Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted February 26, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2017 Don't do it. I know very large well established studios who have been sued for $100K+ doing this. If the work is copyrighted, it should not be used in any public capacity (website, billboard, client image etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Wienerroither Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks for the reply, Jeff. As i mentioned i already have replaced those iconic photographs. Curiously the advertising agency i did the renderings for was okay with using those images ( and the surely should know about the whole copyright thingy). But of course ultimately it would fall back into my responsibility as soon as problems would arise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
