About this episode
Today I'm talking about the controversial recent Supreme Court rulings on copyright infringement. From the blurred lines of transformative use to the importance of respecting artists' work, I'll dig into the legal and ethical considerations that creatives need to be aware of. But as we'll see, sometimes even the law can leave us with more questions than answers. In this episode I'll discuss: The implications of the recent Supreme Court rulings on copyright infringement. The world of transformative imagery in art and photography. How government decisions influence art and copyright laws. The significance of respecting artists' work and adhering to copyright laws. Respect other people's work, because it's not just their creation, it's their livelihood. - Miriam Schulman Some of the resources mentioned today: Check out iStock or Adobe Stock for legal photo licensing. Use free photo sites like Unsplash to find images for personal or commercial use. Purchase a standard or extended license for specific photos on Adobe Stock. You cannot just take a photograph off of the internet and paint it. You can't. It's not legal. It's never been legal. -Miriam Shulman In the world of art and creativity, there's an unwritten code of conduct that encompasses respecting the work of fellow artists, regardless of the medium. Photographers are artists too. You don't want people copying your paintings and the same thing should be true for photographs. It's important for artists to recognize the boundaries set by copyright laws and ensure that their own work doesn't infringe on the rights of others. Respecting other artists' work not only builds a sense of community among creators but also fosters a more collaborative and innovative environment.
