copy write

[sasaba29]

for example if you buy a cd which contains photos like in jpeg form and there is no copyright text or warnings will i be liable to copyright fines by selling this cd as i was not orriginally not aware of any form of copy write protection on the photos.

if there is copyright that does not permit you to sell the goods for money, then by doing so you will be breaking the copyright law. whether or not you didn't (or claimed to not to) know about it.

Unless you are specifically forbidden to do so, then selling a CD of pictures (that is the original CD) is no different in copyright terms from selling a book. If you mean selling the separate pictures and keeping the CD, then you would be infringing copyright (in the same way as you would if you sold photocopies of a book). Copyright is inherent in books, art, photos, etc. whether or not there is a copyright message.

Are you talking about CD's of clip art and images. If so these are supplied royalty free. This means you can use the images for whatever purpose you want, DTP, that kind of thing, and not have to pay the copyright owner a fee for their use. You can not however sell the images in their own right. For example if the CD contained a photo of Elvis. You could make up party invitations with this picture on and use it that way, but you couldn't run off 500 A3 posters and sell them as posters of Elvis.

Undre copyright laws, does not matter if you had 'notice or not. As you are not in posessio of a copyright yourself, this becomes a copyright theft under 'interleactual property' rights.
