Read it for yourself. Make certain you lot click on whatever 1 of the images he has inwards the post. He has:

- identifies every instance of a failure to credit the master copy creative soul equally per licence and/or creative commons
Some of the examples used are former photographs which would definitely live out of copyright.

For this 1 - it's definitely worth noting that:
- the entirely identify where the McCullough paradigm tin terminate live found online postdates places where the Congdon ikon tin terminate live found online.
- I can't constitute from the paradigm whether the McCullough whale is a photograph or a ikon and/or when it was created.
- I receive got even therefore taken a proficient aspect at the NOAA Photolibrary re. whales as well as banknote that in that location are real few images of a whale nether the water. Here's a genuine one - banknote the divergence inwards quality.
- I did find a fisherman inwards Alaska called Mark McCullough who posts his photos on Deviantart and he has some ace wild fauna photos - therefore perchance the master copy was his?
- However it seems much to a greater extent than probable that Mark McCullough is a talented creative soul living inwards Maine who is also an endangered species biologist working for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Congdon says she plans to refute Sherwin's criticisms eventually, but she's waiting to settle ongoing legal negotiations amongst Cody Foster.
A comment past times a photographer
Photographer Jon Atkinson states that Lisa Congdon used his paradigm without his permission (in Comment 524). You tin terminate also read the exchnage of correspondence at COMMENT530
I am 1 of the photographers, who owns the lemur paradigm (Copyright for Artists - Congdon vs Cody Foster published after a mini viral tempest close copyright infringement on the Internet generated past times Lisa Congdon (Today is going to live awesome).
[This transportation was revised as well as updated 26 July 2016]
This was followed upwards past times 2 posts past times Brian Sherwin:
- Let's Have an Ar(t)gument: You stole my idea! Lisa Congdon vs. Cody Foster & Company which reviews the legal arguments as well as the potential evidence. It seems in that location are lots of potential issues the claimant volition demand to address
- Lisa Congdon vs. Cody Foster: What close the photographers? At this request it became clear in that location was rather to a greater extent than to the even out when it comes to alleged "copyright rip-off"! Again the images - of photographs compared to illustrations past times Lisa Congdon - are real persuasive.
The latter has at nowadays generated 550 comments as well as is at nowadays 1 of the most extensive discussions I've seen on the Internet related to copyright infringement, the rights of photographers non tobe copied as well as the whole thorny topic of derivative works
For illustration - Comment 424
I think it's fair to say that many artists, perchance fifty-fifty the vast bulk of artists, are dangerously unfamiliar amongst copyright law. They think such things equally "It's on the internet, therefore I tin terminate exercise it."
Or "If I alter it 10 percentage (or twenty percentage or thirty percent) therefore it's legal."
Or "I'm changing it from a photograph to a painting. That makes it okay."
Or "My operate is stylized (like Congdon's) as well as because I don't operate realistically I tin terminate exercise photos without violating their copyright." (Try telling that to Shepard Fairey.)
Or "If I construct a sculpture (or an ornament) from a photo, I'm changing it from 2D to 3D, therefore that's non a violation."
Or "I'm entirely using this photograph inwards a larger work, therefore it's okay."
Or "I'm entirely using a percentage of this photo, therefore that makes it okay."
Or "I'm exactly a modest fourth dimension artist." Or a hobbyist. Or my view is pure. Or everyone does it. Or no 1 volition notice.
NONE of these is a defence strength inwards a courtroom of constabulary if you lot rip off a copyrighted photograph to construct your artwork.
One gear upwards of comments related to an artwork past times Mathilde Aubier which it appeared had been copied past times Lisa Congdon. The allegations - as well as the artwork - receive got at nowadays disappeared from view but the tape of what happened remains inwards the comments.
H5N1 courtroom instance about the appropriation of a photograph has also been quoted - the reference is Friedman v. Guetta – Copyright Infringement, Fair Use, as well as “Meaningless Art.” - as well as is real definitely worth a read if you lot are an creative soul who copies the photographs of other people.
However in that location receive got been further developments and one of them, from Thomas Allen (Thomas Allen Online) caused my jaw to drop..........
This is of import as well as it's educational - peculiarly if you're non equally good hot on copyright!

For this 1 - it's definitely worth noting that:

I am 1 of the photographers, who owns the lemur paradigm (http://jon-atkinson.com/Lemurs.html) that Lisa Congdon has copied.He followed upwards with
I tin terminate categorically province that Congdon did non asking or receive got rights to exercise my photo. All of my images receive got embedded watermarks that exhibit they are copyright protected therefore she was fully aware that she did non receive got the rights to exercise it.
On contacting Congdon directly, she apologised (i.e. admitted guilt) as well as has later removed my paradigm (and past times the looks of things all the others).
I am pleased to say that Lisa as well as I receive got negotiated an amicable, retrospective, licensing as well as futurity royalty understanding for the exercise of my paradigm which is based on my touchstone fees. As such Lisa tin terminate at nowadays exercise her illustration of my Lemur paradigm for commercial purposes across the Web.So, inwards effect, he's achieved the minimum that whatever lensman or creative soul should await for amongst honor to whatever exercise of their images without permission - equally an choice to consummate removal from the web.
A comment - as well as a podcast - from Fresh Rag
Last calendar week nosotros had The Copyright Quagmire Between Lisa Congdon, Cody Foster & the Art Community which is a podcast on Fresh Rag. It's the longest episode they receive got ever done. It includes:
- an interview amongst an intellectual holding lawyer Tamsen Horton, who has specialized cognition inwards copyright law
- Mark Brickey of Adventures inwards Design Podcast to beak from the professional’s request of view.
- All the sites referenced inwards the podcast tin terminate live found inwards the weblog post.
His determination - equally context for the podcast (the good version of his blog)
The Copyright Quagmire Between Lisa Congdon, Cody Foster & the Art Community - Podcast
I should province that my ain persuasion close artists tracing images for their ain fine art is non something I’m overly concerned with, but you lot should receive got the rights to exercise the images first, whether purchased, or through Creative Commons.
However, when an creative soul claims those same copied illustrations are their master copy idea, as well as therefore goes after some other companionship for essentially doing the same thing, I experience it becomes of import to unwrap the hypocrisy. I practise non aspire to tear other artists down, but nosotros demand to live equally accountable to our actions equally nosotros await corporations to live toward artists.The role of the Copyright Alliance
What I receive got also found real interesting is the agency the Copyright Alliance are treating this story.
Copyright Alliance is an organisation which deals amongst copyright matters as well as representing the interests of people who create master copy items which bask copyright protection.
The Copyright Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan populace involvement as well as educational arrangement representing artists, creators, as well as innovators across the spectrum of copyright disciplines, including membership organizations, associations, unions, companies as well as guilds, representing artists, creators as well as innovators, as well as thousands of individuals.Back inwards Oct they did an interview amongst Congdon - see Friedman v. Guetta – Copyright Infringement, Fair Use, as well as “Meaningless Art.” - as well as is real definitely worth a read if you lot are an creative soul who copies the photographs of other people.
However in that location receive got been further developments and one of them, from Thomas Allen (Thomas Allen Online) caused my jaw to drop..........
This is of import as well as it's educational - peculiarly if you're non equally good hot on copyright!
Beware - this is a real long transportation amongst lots of links.Go larn that hot drinkable as well as uncovering a comfy chair now!

- then flips dorsum as well as forth fast betwixt them such that you're non quite certain whether you're looking at the master copy photograph or what appears to live an plainly traced animal/person/object.
- identifies every instance of a failure to credit the master copy creative soul equally per licence and/or creative commons
Some of the examples used are former photographs which would definitely live out of copyright.

You tin terminate meet where he has drawn horizontal as well as vertical lines betwixt
the photograph identified equally copyright Mark McCullough
as well as the gouache ikon past times Lisa Congdon used for a mass cover
as well as now available equally a impress inwards her Etsy shop
For this 1 - it's definitely worth noting that:
Just thought I'd shout out this inwards the interests of a balanced perspective! It demonstrates that what seems similar fact powerfulness receive got a dissimilar interpretation when ALL the facts are known. However Lisa Congdon has refused to comment on the post.
- the entirely identify where the McCullough paradigm tin terminate live found online postdates places where the Congdon ikon tin terminate live found online.
- I can't constitute from the paradigm whether the McCullough whale is a photograph or a ikon and/or when it was created.
- I receive got even therefore taken a proficient aspect at the NOAA Photolibrary re. whales as well as banknote that in that location are real few images of a whale nether the water. Here's a genuine one - banknote the divergence inwards quality.
- I did find a fisherman inwards Alaska called Mark McCullough who posts his photos on Deviantart and he has some ace wild fauna photos - therefore perchance the master copy was his?
- However it seems much to a greater extent than probable that Mark McCullough is a talented creative soul living inwards Maine who is also an endangered species biologist working for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
