Maybe it's even trickier today with so many images becoming dated after 5 minutes. That's why I love your using a number of famous and recognizable images. They had time to make serious grooves in our brains. <br /><br />It was admirable of you to have stayed with this project, working on it for nearly a year. I'll bet Ell really enjoys it.<br /><br />And, yes, I was able to connect the dots and see your message art sending a message about message art. Nice.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-18539794283076300622011-10-04T19:56:14.845-07:002011-10-04T19:56:14.845-07:00Paul,
The last I checked, the rulings on this subj...Paul,<br />The last I <a href="http://www.copyright.com/viewPage.do?pageCode=cr10-n" rel="nofollow">checked,</a> the rulings on this subject say that unless you change an image substantially, then you have not created an original work, which would be the criterion for claiming it as 'your own.' More accurately, you are claiming 'fair use.'<br /><br />In creating an original work derived from a work in public domain, I understand that you can then hold a copyright on the new work (but again, I'd expect the standard is 'substantial difference'). Obviously, simply reproducing the public domain work doesn't make it yours, as would be the case if I posted a photo from a US Government source (public domain), on my blog, and you downloaded my blog post to your computer... in downloading and viewing the image, you have just made a 'copy' of the original file, on your computer-machine. It is not copyrightable by you, Paul.<br /><br />As for Da Vinci: I have no idea how one would know what Da Vinci thought about plagiarism, him being dead so many years. He certainly predates copyrights as ensured in the US Constitution. But copyrights (and patents) are not intended to protect your ownership of an <i>idea</i>: they protect your work product from exploitation by others, who are not the originator. The right to benefit financially from publication of copyrighted material accrues to the owner of the copyright, for the purpose of protecting the owner's right to gain from distribution of it. That's why copyrights and patents expire: they are intended to be a season of protection for the creative laborer, in which he or she can get benefit from the sweat of their brow before someone else can make financial use of the same idea. And the reason is to provide an economic incentive for creative endeavor.<br /><br />That's why works in the public domain have little value, financially, in comparison to protected works.<br /><br />Plagiarism is just the sheer bloody-minded gall of acting as though an idea that you lifted off of someone else is your own. It's a lie, and shameful. Go get your own idea, for crying out loud, or <i>ask Da Vinci</i> to give you one of his, if he has some laying around to spare.Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049136988037448625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-2186500437776086912011-10-04T01:28:41.768-07:002011-10-04T01:28:41.768-07:00Da Vinci was not worried about people stealing his...Da Vinci was not worried about people stealing his ideas , he thought if people were so smart and brilliant they could have a new idea every morning and it was only the talentless that argued about ownership of an idea.

One lesson: It's easy to be intimidating when you're a momma bear. It's another order of respect when you can be an intimidating dove.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />The observation was truly an exciting series of moments for me. As you've documented, <b>so much</b> is puzzling about <a href="http://melinda-momentsofclarity.blogspot.com/2011/08/tucson-artist-melindas-magical-journey.html" rel="nofollow">that trip,</a> it was a relief to have some things that provided my own 'moments of clarity.' :-)<br /><br />You're right, I <i>need</i> to make some more art, and I think I need to rework this one a tad to see if I can take some of the cartoonishness out of it.<br /><br />I have another work nearing completion... one I've been working on for a long time.
