No Shepherd Fairey is a graphic designer who takes pieces of peoples work and alters them in various ways to make them his own and then uses them in very large scale campaigns. Not even remotely close to the same thing here. Not to mention Fairey uses his work in a very political manner and...

If MGM finds out I don't know you hahaha [emoji12]

I probably just got a company guy hahaha. Either way I was in the right and so was he to question me bc it was professional work.

I hear that, I've done it for a few precious employers but they were all non-profits I didn't mind helping out and giving them the copyrights.

I had them stop me from printing a copy of my own portfolio for an interview and ID me hahaha. I think it just depends on who's behind the counter that day atleast in my experience.

No worries Max, I get that, I wasn't referencing those either. I've even heard that there are pushed in some areas of Europe to have some modern art revert just because the artist is no longer with us (which is terrifying to me) but yea I hear you on the domain issue. My referencing the...

Don't think it's the exact logo though it's an artists rendering of the logo right? I'm not sure about parody stuff, I only ever deal with it in respect to photojournalism mainly. MaxStout? Any idea on that? My only understanding of parody law is that it can't be a direct manipulation of the...

Exactly, it's always been one of my selling points to clients that I don't do print credits or anything like that. Gives them more value in their eyes and I don't have to deal with printing hahah. But for larger studios, especially those who print in house, doing it that way is how they make the...

I don't exactly understand where "Nope" comes in to play based on the fact that I'm agreeing with everything you're saying?... You're dead on with the numbers, I didn't have the exact statute information in front of me. And I hardly ever have to deal with it so it's not committed to memory by...

You can sometimes get the portrait studio to give you a copyright release to get that printed if you need. Its something I do for all my portrait clients bc I don't operate on print credits but some studios force you to print with them. I've never liked that part of the photography world. Always...

GHB, one other thing I forgot to mention, there is one scenario in which you could be forced to stop using a copyrighted image on a beer label even if it's for fun, it hardly ever happens, it sucks, but it makes sense. Let's say the family of the dude who played Curly owns his estate. You use...

They can still stop you because you are paying them to copy the imagery. Most if the time the won't do that bc they hardly ever pay attention to people doing the self service thing unless they need help so that may be a good way to get around it but the whole idea of them profiting off of...

NOW, that said, where it would be different was if you instead did 1 of 2 things, used an artists rendering of the image that was stylized to look like a drawing of some sort with some changes (which you'd have to have permission from the artist to give them at the store) OR if you purchased a...

So here's how it all plays out, as long as you aren't selling or marketing the beer in anyway, you're good to print that. BUT, because Office Depot would be profiting off of the reproduction of said copyrighted photo by selling you the labels, they can only do so if you are the copyright owner...

Oh wow that's cool. It's just down the street from my day job according to Yelp, I'll have to check it out soon.

Passed, it's real sweat, kind of a benefit of living where it's 70+ degrees all year round when it comes to photography like this with drinks lol. Shot w/ a Nikon D3 and 85mm Macro lens. Most of the shots are vertically lit. I do it a lot with ingredients for food articles and any glass utensils...

I'm on Oahu but we try to get off island when we can. I deer hunt on Lana'i every year. It's a blast. Nobody around for miles. It's really interesting everything that's going on right now with the pressure Native Hawaiians are putting on America to do right by them after stealing the country. I...

Hahaha unfortunately there is no way to make a Lilikoi (Hawaiian Passion Fruit) appear appealing in a picture I've tried lol. They're awesome though. Makes a bangin BBQ chicken marinade too if you ever get a chance to use them. They're a bit more tangy than their purple cousins but I think...

So last week I had a stroke of genius where all of us do.. in the shower. And I decided that the next time I brewed I would break out the camera & flashes and try some fine-art style photography of the brewing process while I brewed. I think they came out pretty good, might even put a few on the...

Yea it's pretty much been 78 since I got off the plane in 2010 hahaha. Occasionally it'll dump a bunch of rain in February or get hot in the summer but it's pretty regular. I'm learning that it makes Lagering difficult though lol. Biggest season change for us is the wave action switches to North...
