I would like to share my interpretation of that picture with you, but not knowing the origination, can I do that??????? I just finished it and it is adorable.........hugs...Vicki

I will probably get a lot of flack here, but I was told by a Photographer that once a pic has been sent to someone it becomes the property of the reciever, not the sender. So I would say it is your pic. The question I had ask was I had taken a pic of a beautiful sunset, and sent it to several of my friends & family, the Photographer said it was no longer my pic and it belongs to the recipiant. See what others tell you. That is my story and I'm sticking to it! hahaha! Hugs, Judy

You will need to get the permission of the photographer.The copyright will always belong to the photographer.

My husband says, if the photo is posted on a public forum....aka the Internet, it's fair game. I don't think just because you took the picture it is automatically copyrighted??? The web site would say if it was or have a watermark on it... Besides, that picture is urban legend by now

Your husband is wrong.
Anything that is tangible has an automatic copyright on it for 70 years after the creators death.

Well good luck finding the photographer. A lot of these are created in graphic programs. You could be a little more polite to the lady. It certainly puts people off buying your designs.

Not directed at you bowlds but the resident copyright policewoman.
I know, that's why I put down the cheerleader, I thought her answer was a bit harsh too.

If the photo is copywritten thru copywrite law and you are modifying it to where is looks like an original work of art you would still need the owners permission because it would now be classified as a "derivative work". Derivative work would apply even if the new work doesn't look like the original in any way. Refer to the sites mpo14011 has given, it's all there. I think if one is going to digitize, they need to know the copywrite laws, they could really get themselves into some deep trouble. Carol

I am familiar with copywrite law, Carol, however this photo is all over the internet now and is copied to all types of websites, public domain as well. There is also a person who made a hand cross stitch design out of it for a swap meet and I tried to google for the owner of the photo and got nowhere with that as it is obviously a photoshopped photo....
Thanks for everyone's responses.......
