childrens book? Need some advice on copyright issue
I found a series of drawings on photobucket and I see no signs of any copyright markings. I would like to use the 19 pictures I found to write a childrens book. How do I find out if they are copyrighted or can I use them if I see no copyright?
 
I would first contact the person who has them posted on photobucket. They can let you know if the photos are there's or someone else's. If the photos belong to the person on photobucket, all you need is written permission to use them- make sure you mention whether you're giving them compensation or not. If they belong to someone else, you'll have to hunt them down one way or another. Another idea would be to hire an artist to take those images as an idea, and have them create something similar to said images. Once again, you'd need to write out a contract with the artist.
