Been looking into licensing in regards to copyright on some of the work I do...I.e Disney characters etc....after reading a post on another local businesss page in regards to designs on other pages so yep Ive been looking into that side of things and have written to two governing bodies for reassurance the following information should keep myself right and my customers!!! Just for the record! Transformative Use Another way to legally use Disney characters could be to use them in what the law refers to as transformative use. Transformative use requires that you change, or transform, the character enough so that it is no longer a mere copy of the original. The resulting transformation is sometimes called a derivative work. For example, if a painter created an original oil painting of his family and included the Disney character Tinkerbell as a family member, his use of Tinkerbell would be fair use because of its commentary that the artist considers Tinkerbell a member of his family. The use of Tinkerbell in the painting could be could be characterized as a transformative use, and the painting could be called a derivative work.......of which I do due to personalisation etc. thanks for reading xxx
