Snowball83 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hey, was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm looking to start selling my Madonna artwork online, I noticed a lot of people are doing this online. My question is, does anyone know if this is legally ok to do? Example below (Not my work, another artist) would this not be considered copyright infringment? http://society6.com/willcosta/madonna-rlp_print#1=45 Any help appretieated!

billiejean Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I doubt it, so many people sell their art online through places like society6 and etsy, even ebay. I wouldn't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Above Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 If you are concerned about using a photo as a reference for your art, something like in your post, I'm sure it would be considered a trans-formative use and be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 some of the biggest artists work from famous imagery. think of warhol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If you were actually selling the original photo it would be copyright infringement, however this is your own "art" interpretation so all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yes and no. It depends on a lot of stuff. You should read into the story about the "Free Winona" t-shirts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
