Would've been more relevant before genAI
Now I can generate any realistic photo/cartoon I want
Does anyone know how easily you can do "copyright clearance" for these supposedly public domain images?
For example, the page for the first image I clicked on said:
Date
1833
Underlying Rights
Public Domain Worldwide
Digital Rights
No Additional Rights
* Source states “no known restrictions”
* We offer this info as guidance only
If, for example, you design the cover of a self-published book around such an image, is Amazon KDP going to reject it, because they don't accept that screenshot as sufficient proof of rights?
Just contact the original author. You may need to pay extra for the Medium.
I do not know how this site managed to break mousewheel scrolling so badly, but I am quite impressed.
