Mark SW Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 With all the free outlines and stencils on the web if I were to fill in the outlines with my own ideas whos pattern is it? I UNDERSTAND that if the original artist is listed give credit where credit is due. If i downloaded a outline of an bird and filled in the detail is the pattern mine?

Birchbark Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 To use the pattern, or sell the pattern? Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerstutzen Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 To the extent you copied the original, it still belongs to the artist. To the extent that you added your original changes, it belongs to you. So, the new combination, belongs to both. The old part to the artist, your additional changes to you.

zimmerstutzen Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Look up the copyright pertaining to Its A Wonderful life. While the film might have passed to the public, the script/music and other parts still belong to others. So royalties must still be paid to some owners.

hotshot Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I find myself singing copyrighted material to myself and friends all the time, sometimes making unintentional deviations. But even with my off tone singing, if the source material is close enough to be recognizable, it's still not my song. I guess you could call it my "arrangement".

Debi Shipman Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I try to use copyright free, royalty free material. That way you can do what ever you want with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmerstutzen Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I have a collection of magazines and catelogs from 1870 to 1930. Pretty much any of the illustrations are fair game. Still have to watch out for trade marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
