Hello,
I have been looking at various sites to get an idea of what's out there so I can start to make my own disigns. If I find an image on a web site is it ok to leave it as is and turn it into a shirt, magnet, etc? Do I have to change it In some way before I can legally use it? If it is an image from fanpop that is fan art, for example, an individual's hand drawn image of Belle, is it acceptable to use it without asking first. If there is a copyright mark on the image is it ok to remove the mark? Please note I would never sell anything I would be doing with these images nor would I claim someone else's image as my own. I am just concerned about anyone thinking I'm stealing an image. Thank you so much for any and all guidance! You all have been so wonderful.
