Roland,
Where did you buy your art work from? Would you be willing to share?

I have multiple disks full of 'copyright free' clip art...and the
fine print tells you...
you can 'USE' the artwork for anything you want-signs, graphics,
whatever.
You can charge for YOUR work, whatever you want...but you cannot
'charge' for the 'artwork' you used by itself.
You can charge for setup, design work, digitizing, embroidery,
etc....whatever you want. But you cannot have a separate charge for
'pandabear clipart #12345' for example.
You have the 'right' to use it for whatever you want-but you cannot
charge for it since it isn't yours. You can't take 'pandabear #12345'
and claim it to be 'your' artwork. But you can charge whatever you
want for the job, the setup, the embroidery itself, the jacket....and
you can charge a 'design' fee...AS LONG AS YOU DON"T CLAIM THE
ARTWORK AS YOURS...
Make sense now?
But a lot of clipart on 'the web' will have in fine print "copyright
2005 by Acme Studio" or something...'all rights reserved'. This means-
DON'T USE IT. Find something else.
A lot of your 'free clipart' websites will claim the same...the
artwork is 'free' but you can't get a clean copy without paying to
'join' the club...usually what you look at is 72 dpi and 1" x
2"...too low a resolution to blow up and digitize. Pay the fee to
join, you get the 300 dpi image!
And copyright rules changed a couple of years ago...it doesn't matter
how much you change a design-there is no 'percent of change'
allowed....if it looks like the original or uses parts of the
original, it IS the original and you could get in trouble.
But there is so much out there if you keep searching, you'll find
what you want. Otherwise, get used to paying for it...its a fair
trade for the work that someone else did. Do you give YOUR artwork
away for free to everyone or do you think you should get paid for the
time you spent? Goes both ways!
