[Woodcarver] Copyrights

[Byron]

IMHO you can attempt to take the "high road" and still appear to be in violation.  Only the courts can determine if you are in fact in violation.

IMHO you are still in violation ....even if you don't get caught.  As Byron said, "take the high road" ....because its the right thing to do.

My suggestion, if you are in need of copyright information, the best place to go is the U.S. Copyright Office .  All the information you need is there   http://www.copyright.gov/

Thank you, Ivan.....well put!!!

My point is that it's best to attempt to take the high road and not directly copy, even then it could appear that there was a copyright infringement.  However, creating one caving from a picture is so far under the radar that the chances of the courts needing to determine the applicability of the law are almost non existent.
