Presented By Linda Joy Kattwinkel, Esq. and Pieter Folkens.
Originally aired May 2017.
We are all influenced by each other’s work. But where is the line between being inspired and illegal copying? Is it okay to mimic famous brands? What about working from photographs? Is it safe to scan images from the web if we digitally alter them? Can we use old images, or works from other countries? When is something in the “public domain”?
