: : : : Hello ,I'm new here and want to ask advice on using the images from a book printed in 1825 and long out of print...to change those images into another medium for my own profit..would that be in breach of any copyright and could I then copyright those changed images for myself?? any advice welcome : : : Yes. : : : 2125946900 : : Yes to which question? : : Yes, it is infringement, or yes, you can copywright the changed images? : Sorry I was ambiguous. The images in the book are public domain and free for you to use. You are entitled to copyright and protect the changes in the images that you create from them. There would be no need for lawyers if everything were clear black and white. If you were to call we could get a better idea of exactly what you intend and better focus on what can and cannot be done. There would be no charge for preliminary discussion. : M.
