Copyright law protects "transformative" work as fair us.
I take pic of JennaJ, shrink her head, and they can't touch me. Espeically if it's artistic. There was a thread in A W I (sorry) about a recent ruling that even said that thumbnailing a pic was a transformative process, since when re-enlarged it no longer resembles the original work. However, he failed to put any absolute restraints on it.
So, technically right now, you drop the size of a pic 1 pixel, you can use it within the law. Of course when your case goes to court, they will find against you, and re-write the law, but at very least I think you are sheltered from punitive dmgs.
So, um... yea, copyright law is FUCKED right now... not much you can do about it. It's vague, every judge has a different opinion, but it's impossible..
Sure if I put a solarize filter on a pic, or add a sandstone texture and make it black and white, it's been transformed, and therefore may be considered art, however, how much does the sandstone have to show, What exact filters, with what exact settings will constitute a transformative process is entirely up in the air, and hard to set boundries on.
