Title: Copyright infringment....
Post by: shank_ali on December 16, 2008, 14:33
Well twang my knicker elastic..aint had a rejection along these lines for awhile.Took two pairs of childrens shoes to the beach on suNday and shot them close up on driftwood.Really pleased with the results and submitted them with confidence and several perfect keywords  :D only to be told (within 24 hours) that they infringed copyright.I suppose the pattern/color/design could not be generic enough.
My last one was a cafe sign and the sign writing had copyright issues.
Anyone else had copyright issues......

I had a series of children playing with a water hose rejected because of the children's swimsuits.

Another image was rejected because the word "Digital" was on the strap of a camera. I could probably write a book between the silly rejections and the Keyword wiki "corrections".

Are shoes with checkerboard pattern? Copyright on such patterns and similar ones owns Vans company. Zazzle store reject my order to make shoes for me with my own checkerboard pattern because of Vans copyright. I changed colors but they said: "Vans has copyright on all colors" !  ;D
