I do various things at music festivals such as stage management, event creation etc..
At an upcoming festival I am putting on a 'Pimp my mobility aid' event. It involves people modding wheelchairs/kids toy cars etc and then racing them.
The image challenge last week has a lot of images which i would like to use as decor for around the stage.
Do i need to ask for individual permission from each person whos images i would like to use. I'm guessing i do...
If you have an image which you wouldn't mind me using (It will potentially be seen by 12,000 people) post it here :)
The more the merrier.
The reason i have put this message here and not on the talk board is because image replys would make my life easier.
Edit:- oh and by the way... it's the 'Secret garden party'

But yes, you'll need permission from those who created the images. Best bet would be to find the ones you want and gaz the creator.

my bad for not putting it in an existing thread.
I thought some people might be interested in letting ALOT of people see their stuff, so it wasn't completely selfish of me.
but yea sorry.

and to be honest many of those people don't deserve that kind of punishment.
As with any image a simple polite request to the author asking permission for use, reason for use and agreement to keep within the parameters of a creative commons licence usually enough.
12000 people eh? They will all stop watching bands to look at a modern pram race? Good luck with that.

Exposure of your work is not payment.
It's not unselfish to offer to show someone's work to a million billion people unless you pay them unselfishly.
There's nothing wrong with what you want to do, you're here to ask first and that's cool, but you are just looking to use someone else's work for free, be grateful that anyone might be willing to volunteer, but do not,
BUT DO NOT
pretend do be doing the artists a favour, be grateful instead, it's more appropriate.
We (by "we" I mean artists, not only b3tards) weren't just born shitting this stuff out, "talent" means hard work, life long hard work, it's not a "gift".
Ah, and I know I just got all heavy over use of some silliness the creator probably couldn't copyright anyway, and you're hella nice to ask (seriously, gaz the ones you want if you want to walk the walk), but these particular two cents have been burning holes in my pockets for years.
Pet peeve and all.
Thanks for your time, carry on as you were.

provided it was entirely their own work.
If the image was made with stock photos/artwork found on the net, you would have to ask whoever owns the rights to the original artwork. Probably.
Just steal them and use them anyway - that's what everyone else does.

Ask 'coz it's polite,
but steal them anyway.

Im guessing this tactic works for both boards.
Also, its always nice to ask.

There's nothing against it in the faq and it's an image related queston.
He's done nothing wrong, really.

But next time, I advise you post in an existing thread. That's called a "Threadjack" or a "TJ" as we tend to call them.
