What is the situation with using celebrity photos and doctoring to make profit? Is it even legal?

doctoring is what will get you in the most trouble, altering or modifying material you know is copyrighted will get you in trouble with the Feds (and not only civil stuff) via the DMCA, but thats as much as i know

I'm curious about this as well. Anyone have more detailed info? Apparently there's something legal going on because so many sites openly have this stuff.Comment

It is illegal. Period.
Can't use the pics (altered or not) and can't use anything close to the name. You will get sued - or at least threatened - and you will lose.
Why? Too many other profitable - albeit "hard working" avenues to take.

"In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and "transformative" purpose such as to comment upon, criticize or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. Another way of putting this is that fair use is a defense against infringement. If your use qualifies under the definition above, and as defined more specifically later in this chapter, then your use would not be considered an illegal infringement."
It's not illegal -- period. Check out the facts at the Stanfard Fair Use site -- lots of good information.

ps. I have never heard of anyone getting sued -- the one exception being Perfect 10 because people used their images to make fake nudes of celebrities. Does anyone have any verification for what theyve said?A girl got drunk and balled the dead, and I gave empty sermons to my head.

does Mr. Skin publish celeb photos other than screencaps from the movies he reviews?Originally posted by tbabe

there is no 'fair use' when it comes to publishing a photograph owned by somebody else. A photographer or photo service couldn't make a living if just because a person or event was famous and newsworthy that made it ok to publish their photos without being paid or permission being granted.
i have no idea what's inside Mr. Skin.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Yeah, Pictures are out of the question. Unless your capping. The only pictures mr.skin posts are caps. Movie clips with some sort of review or comment seem to be the loophole.icq 290-876-378Comment
