Art Card and ACEO Copyright Information

If you make art cards, ACEO or art card collages, the following is important information regarding copyrights! Any individual can be sued for copyright violations when publishing artists cards without proper license agreements.

Individuals must possess a basic model release for which any and all models involved in the photo have given permission to use their image. Don’t publish ACEOs with corporate logos or brand names. Disney, Coca Cola, Hallmark and others will threaten suit for violations.

Public domain is anything prior to 1922. After that, all copyright material including photos, books and music could be subject to the new “Sonny Bono law” that protects all works for 95 years. All photos and artwork, including artists cards, are copyright protected even 50 YEARS AFTER death of the holder.
If the image is not yours, do not publish it. When in doubt, do your research. The internet is an excellent source of information regarding copyright laws. If answers are not found regarding your rights to an art card image, do not subject yourself to a lawsuit by publishing the image.
