One thing that is really important to protect pieces of art, as artists on social media, is to register copyright USA. It is significant because it provides evidence to a later courtroom proceeding that you intended to protect your art, learning the law, and had no intention of giving up your copyright.

Wow, that blue dots case made my blood boil! Definitely a big, fat "NO!" That ruling actually encourages vandalism and copyright infringement. That ruling could be used to negate everything else discussed, like right to show, right to sell, register and even the shred of creativity right and Franklin could have won the case versus Apple. Put blue dots on it = copyright automatically transferred. Paste a guitar on it = now have a right to make money off it. So unfortunate. :(

I think a big fat NO to the first question! And I'm thinking that the law is still a bit vague and people can probably find work arounds to basically steal someone's art, unfortunately. Seems a bit tricky.
@LindaArmstrong 6 жыл бұрын
I think if he had permission to alter the photo from the artist then go for it. The music in my videos are from the youtube library of sharable music, PLUS, I didn't alter it, I'm only sharing what the original artist created. And if I am asked to put a credit on my video description to the artist who created the music I am more than happy to do so. So, it's a bit tricky. But I believe the original artist should have the say as to how his art is used. So, as you suggested, if you want to protect your work you can get it legally copy written. A lot of artists give their work out to companies like BigStockPhoto, and so they are knowing that the art may be altered when they agree. It's their choice.

Personally I disagree. Its not for us to determine rather the art is good or not. I think the remake is a piece of junk as far as art is concerned. But no one is going to buy the remake looking for the original... And if you think about it. anyone that see's the remake and LIKES the background picture will research where the original came from. If anything its a form of free promotion.

I have gotten a copyright strike once. It was for a song that I composed and had all my paperwork (in my name) from the U.S. Copyright Office. It took forever to get the strike removed even though it was my own creation. The problem I saw, was that KZfaq only wants to work with bigger artist and not the smaller creators. I currently do have a copyright notice on today's vlog. The music belongs to my guest in the vlog today. It would be and easy fix, but I do not care because it is not a strike.

I registered my artwork "for hire" for a mobile game for a cypto token. The developer didn't agree to my contract. I sent him a cease and desist to remove all of my artwork from his websites. I am waiting for the copyright office to process the artwork. When I get the paperwork confirming the registered artwork I am going to seek compensation. I just need to know the next steps. Can I hire a lawyer with the condition of getting paid when compensated? As an independent artist I don't have the money for a retainer, but if i can sue upwards of 30 grand for every copyrighted image, im sure i could work something out.

As much as I hate the ruling on the transformation of someone else's work, this can also go into the complaints of KZfaq's copyright guidelines not too long ago right? Sometimes youtubers reuse clips of other's videos or photos they just found on the internet. In that debate, many people were against KZfaq for giving these creators copyright strikes/demonetizing videos for doing this and many agreed they were 'transforming' the work therefore should be allowed to use it.

Thanks for this informative video! I don't post most of my artwork for this very reason: theft and manipulation of original work. I think the courts got it wrong, so it's a NO from my pov. Try doing that to an Ansel Adams, Rembrant or another work of fine art...or even pop art like Andy Warhol and see if you don't get fined for plagiarism or vandalism in addition to copyright infringement. The amount of thought, creativity, vision, inspiration, practice, technique, workmanship, etc. gets tossed into the trash when stupid add-ons make a joke of the original intent. I also see potential racism in this decision: had it been a white artist's work altered by a black artist would the verdict have been the same? Makes me wonder.

What is the law for an abstract drawing that someone downloaded and played with, removing some details and changing some colours. Do I have a right to my abstract art? Do I have a right to say I don't want my drawing altered? Do I have a right to say I don't want it downloaded without my permission? You mentioned changing a photograph but what about a drawing or painting? Do I have rights for this? Do the laws you talk of only apply to the USA?
@cnlicnli 5 ай бұрын
@ShoshanahShear wrote, “What is the law for an abstract drawing that someone downloaded and played with, removing some details and changing some colours. Do I have a right to my abstract art?” When you create artwork, you own the copyright and other EXCLUSIVE legal rights, including the right to create “derivatives” (modifications) of your original artwork. For example, I’m a photographer and someone takes one of my copyright-protected photographs and changes it into a different medium. Unless their use falls within the scope of Fair Use (UK’s Fair Dealing), they can NOT exploit (modify, change, reproduce) my photographs into their drawings, sketches, illustrations, paintings, etc. without a permission license (and payment) to me. This example also applies equally to your abstract drawings. @ShoshanahShear wrote, “Do I have a right to say I don't want my drawing altered? Do I have a right to say I don't want it downloaded without my permission?” Yes, absolutely! You have the exclusive right to control your work and determine who gets to exploit it, or no one at all. Your drawings are you exclusive property rights. If a third-party proceeds without your permission to make copies or derivatives, they can be copyright infringers. @ShoshanahShear wrote, “Do the laws you talk of only apply to the USA?” The information I’ve provided relates to US copyright law. I imagine copyrights & derivative formations would be similar in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc. Even if you’re located outside the US, you’re very much encouraged(!) to QUICKLY register (PROTECT!) your design drawings with the US Copyright Office (USCO), especially if you’re selling, licensing, sharing, distributing, etc. them on US social media platforms and/or to US clients. Having an issued USCO copyright “Certificate of Registration” in your hand permits your US attorney to pursue statutory damages and possibly your attorney fees against US-based copyright infringers. It’s also legally advantageous to affix one or more watermarks, logos, your name and/or copyright attribution with URL and/or social media handle, metadata, image title, licensing information, and/or other *“Copyright Management Information”* (CMI part of the DMCA). US-based DMCA violators (copyright infringers) who knowingly/intentionally remove, cover-up, or change a watermark and other CMI with AI, Photoshop, or another editing software to hide their copyright infringements and/or induce others to infringed, can be liable for your actual money damages and/or the infringer’s disgorged profits OR US$2,500 to US$25,000 in statutory damages PLUS attorney fees PLUS legal costs (at the court’s discretion). Importantly, US infringers who knowingly remove or modify CMI can suggest WILLFUL copyright infringement to a US federal judge. If you’ve timely registered your copyright, you may have two causes of action against American infringers: Copyright infringement ($150,000 max.) + CMI violation ($25,000 max.) = max. statutory damages at $175,000 + attorney fee + legal costs (at the court’s discretion). Send me a reply if you need tips/links on how to register your works with the USCO.

Thank you so much for sharing, Ian. I've got one question: If I sell digital art on Etsy, do you recommend registering my art in the US (Since Etsy is established in NY) or in my country?

*Question:* What's the loophole to copyright Infringement meaning how could 1 use a digital image and add some features to it, make a physical product out of it and monetize it??? Also can an Attorney draft a contract that states if anyone goes to a website and see a copy written image that they cant sue the owner of the site or a contract that States how much can be gained if a lawsuit comes forth for that particular image???

If you have timely registered your copyright with the US Copyright Office + the infringement is NOT within the scope of Fair Use + the infringer is NOT judgement proof (has money to pay you damages), there are US copyright attorneys who may take your infringement case on a contingency: The attorney would take, say, 40% while you would keep the remaining 60% of any money damages received. Timely copyright registration really counts!

Hi Mr. Corzine! Thank you so much for your insightful videos. I recently started making my first ever YT channel and have some questions I can't find clear answers for. I hope you could indulge me for a moment of your time! I need to know if it's legal or possible to get a copyright registered on my YT channel's opening and logo. It is made from various 100% commercial free assets into something original. So I did the background art for this animated opening; but everything else is the free commercial use stuff. I'm not aiming to monetize or sell the animated opening or the logo, but just have it for a small gaming channel I hope to share with a gaming community for an old game. You can see an old version of my logo as my profile pic thar gives a good idea, though it's changed a lot since. Given how much has since been added to the central image and font, made by other folks, again commercial free, into something original, can this be registered? If not, how could I protect it from theft? Thanks so much for your content!

Ian Corzine no strikes thankfully, I’m sure I’ve had some music playing in the background of something... maybe not on YT though. On FB or IG... 💜

Hi Ian. If I slightly crop a photo of my painting to sell prints online, should I copyright the cropped version or the uncropped?

@nickc9070 wrote, “If I slightly crop a photo of my painting to sell prints online, should I copyright [register] the cropped version or the uncropped?” As long as you’ve registered your full-size (full-frame, un-cropped) painting image, you can crop it, and it will be protected under your original full-frame copyright registration.

What if I made a specific design on an handmade artisan soap. Can I copyright that design so no one can copy that design?

@tracyphoenix8 wrote, “What if I made a specific design on an handmade artisan soap.” If your design is “original” to you (i.e., you didn’t steal it from a third-party or source) + you include enough creative expression + your design fits within the scope of copyright subject matter, then you work is likely copyrightable. Ideally, *you want to include LOTS of creative/artistic design to have a STRONG copyright claim.* FYI: There are certain things that are not copyrightable, including simple shapes & familiar symbols (by themselves). US Copyright Office’s Circular 33 (“Things Not Protected by Copyright”) has a lot of good information. If I post a link to it, KZfaq may not post my comment. So, enter “US Copyright Office + Circular 33” in an Internet search to get the official link. You won’t know if your work is actually copyrightable unless you register it with the US Copyright Office. Register your work IMMEDIATELY! You can register ONE un-/published work via the $45 “Single Application” (also known as *One Work by One Author)* if you solely created the work (no third-party contributions or co-authors) + you’re the copyright claimant + your work is NOT a-work-for-hire (WFH) project (NO corporation work) + your work does NOT include any third-party creative media (no Creative Commons, no AI-generated work, no licensed creative content, etc.). You MUST have created the ENTIRE work yourself! If you don’t qualify for the Single Application, use the $65 “Standard Application” to register your one work. @tracyphoenix8 wrote, “Can I copyright *[register]* that design so no one can copy that design?” If your design is simple, then you may only have a “thin copyright.” It’s also possible for other creatives to “independently” create designs that are similar or even substantially similar to your work, and that’s not a copyright infringement, especially if they never had access (never saw) your design. So, adding LOTS & LOTS of artistry can make your copyright claim really STRONG (and unique).

I think yes and no. No because the initial artist still conjured that image and feeling. What would the next person have without that original artist creating this image to begin with? Yes because the second person did contribute to the final outcome but it doesn't seem fair for the original artist to get nothing for it. I would say 70/30. We need to stand up in these situations because I can't imagine working on a painting for weeks or even months and then someone coming along a placing a pock a dot on my piece and calling it their own, I would be pissed.
