Copyright (Graffiti)

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'd like to use vectored images of illegal graffiti. In the Czech Republic the Freedom of Panorama act covers 2D images in public places and are exempt from copyright. In England, the Freedom of Panorama act does not extend to 2D images. However, graffiti is not enforceable by British law due to a) problems of proving who actually created the graffiti, and b) a legal clause that prevents individuals from using the law to make money from illegal activities ('Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum'). Can I use graffiti images? I also have a residency in Spain, where the Freedom of Panorama act covers 2D images. Could this be a workaround? Cheers for any feedback! I'm sure this will be ok, but I thought I'd ask!

Also, I have permission from the photographer / vector image creator, so, derivative copyright is sorted! :)

Thanks for your question, I will check if it's allright and let you know (IMHO it is, as you have agreed with the derivative work's author).
