? about Public Domain photos |
|
Does any know the law/rule on public domain photos or where to point me? I'm building a fan site for a musician and can't find photos to buy except and Getty images and I'm afraid to price them there.
Musician: Neil Diamond

1. Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission |

My wife co-runs a Terry O'Quinn fan site. They have pics from a number of sources, including ABC, and nobody has ever said anything. As long as it's for a non-commercial, low-key project, I wouldn't be too concerned.

2. There are fans from another board who will try to bring the site down or cause trouble. |

I feel like I have to have my "i's dotted and t's crossed".

3. Public domain means they are no longer subject to copyright law. |

I didn't find anything for Neil Diamond there, but I may be looking properly.

5. If you aren't making money from it you'll probably be below the radar anyway. |
