You haven't really answered the question.

How are you going to trace the image? Do you own the object? If the answer is yes, then fine, go ahead.

Is the object owned by someone else, eg. a museum? Answer is no, you can't copy it.

Are you drawing it from a photo taken by someone else? Answer is no, you can't copy it.

I don't agree. Most very old items are not copyrighted. The museum owns the object but does not own say a pattern on it. The artist that created that object owned the rights to that pattern but if it is long enough in past, it is no longer the case. The 'how old' may differ in various contries but if we are talking about centuries, I think we are pretty safe in all countries.

I think that's what most of the replies above said as well.

I agree with you..

thanks for your help... but my last question is that those background was created 10000 years ago! Are they copyrighted also?

Are you sitting in front of the 10000 year old object in order to draw it or photograph it? If not, the photographer who took the photo owns the copyright to that photo and therefore you may not trace it without a property release signed by them.

If you are creating a vector pattern that looks similar to the one on the 10000 year old artifact, then that is something different than tracing a photo someone else took.

Thanks whatalife, I just want to trace a pattern of 10000 year old articfact..

I'm not a member and before this I'd never heard of them, but the first four letters in their name is enough for me to form my own opinion about the type of site they are and I'm not even going to bother looking any further.

I'm waiting for bloodyexpensivenodiscounttopqualityexclusivephotos.com to start up before I look into joining any more stock sites.

lool..

maybe thebeststockphotoexclusivebestrateimportantnew2009rfrmexclusive.com is better
