Title: Statues & Copyright
Post by: takestock on July 28, 2008, 14:28
I've just shot and submitted some images of a memorial of quite a famous person.
The statue is new, so I'm wondering what is the chances of it being accepted across the sites.
I read somewhere that that old memorials are OK but newer ones are copyrighted.
Will soon find out anyway!

Have you had any experience of this or know the position?

to my knowledge IS is quite strict on that in the past I got some statue images rejected there  having said that  you could see many approved statues there as well. other than that it should  get approved on other sites imo. but I can't really give legal advice on if it's smart to sell image of statues with RF license. but  I don't shoot statues anymore even if I did I ,I try to sell them  as editorial  licensed  rather than RF  to be on the safe side.
