He may give you permission to use, presuming it's for a non-$ purpose.

But the minute you start making $$$, he'll want a piece.

My advice? Buy out. If you expect to make say, 500 bucks from them, buy out the use for 200. One time fee.

If for whatever reason, he wants royalties or any other type of deffered comp in this type of scenario, walk away and use something else. Not worth the headache unless you really feel strongly about the use and the ability to earn the coin on it.

Good luck.

oops, I crossed the line by posting it here, heh. - Thelonious Dunk 2008-09-26 17:10:41 (23 views)

so you didn't actually "take" the original photo? - lawless foo 2008-09-26 10:36:03 (24 views)

I did not, though it would be very easy for me to draw something similar. - Thelonious Dunk 2008-09-26 11:22:32 (32 views)

LOL. Got the disclaimer in a bit late there. - Earl j. Slick 2008-09-27 08:36:12 (34 views)

Heh, seriously, I was going to claim his council when I go to court over this - Thelonious Dunk 2008-09-27 15:05:10 (35 views)

Said he was a lawyer named Flex Kavana, except sometimes he's Tarp Lazer Palin - Earl j. Slick 2008-09-28 15:07:32 (31 views)

So is this what you do all day? I forgot you were an entertainment - bballkrazy 2008-09-26 22:30:50 (34 views)

music samples would be a good example.. adding effects doesn't make it yours - Krieger Live from VanCity 2008-09-26 10:17:54 (29 views)

No. - Earl j. Slick 2008-09-28 15:12:03 (22 views)

yes, but many blues songs use the same 12 bar format. - Thelonious Dunk 2008-09-26 11:25:41 (40 views)

12 bars is a structure. 12-bar blues can be in a major key, minor key, jazz blues, and - Earl j. Slick 2008-09-28 15:15:12 (38 views)

That example uses something that isn't original enough to garner copyright protection. - Flex Kavana 2008-09-26 16:42:24 (28 views)

You can copyright a 12-bar blues song. - Earl j. Slick 2008-09-28 15:16:10 (26 views)

yea, but sample a blues recording.. you're on the hook if anyone catches you - Krieger Live from VanCity 2008-09-26 16:13:58 (21 views)

however, a lot of producers have gotten away with chopping up the loop - Mr. Gerbik 2008-09-26 10:22:36 (45 views)

yea, that's called not getting caught... that's always an option ..lol - Krieger Live from VanCity 2008-09-26 16:12:17 (20 views)

i'm no lawyer, but i'd say no way - Krieger Live from VanCity 2008-09-26 10:08:52 (23 views)

is that the starting photo? Depends on what the end result would look like. - bballkrazy 2008-09-26 08:52:54 (23 views)

Check this out. Creating a "derivative work" is still an infringement. - bballkrazy 2008-09-26 09:07:00 (33 views)

not a lawyer, but i'd say no. But i'd do it anyways. - mistatwo mayn 2008-09-26 08:29:08 (27 views)

That is very cool. - Starburst 2008-09-26 06:18:30 (27 views)

yeah, that's why I'd love to sell them. It looks great in a white mat and black frame - Thelonious Dunk 2008-09-26 09:17:59 (26 views)

His likeness cannot be used without permission. I would try to get permission first. - dsigns 2008-09-25 23:33:17 (35 views)

I'm no lawyer, but I think that's in a gray area - stone 2008-09-25 23:21:40 (62 views)
