I always send an e-mail to the owners of the pictures asking their permission to use them, so far no one has answered me back, but in their disclaimers you can find that the only thing that they required is for you to give them credit for their artwork, and some of them ask to place a link to their websites, you can do that in your text file document that should be in your zip pack.

- Making an illustration using an idea from someone else's photograph is plagiarism.- Purchasing artwork and then making copy(ies) that were not part of the original agreement is plagiarism.- Purchasing artwork and then changing it (unless copyright was also assigned) is also plagiarism.


don't forget about paraodies and satire.

Here are a few examples of plagiarism that may surprise you:
- Making an illustration using an idea from someone else's photograph is plagiarism.
- Purchasing artwork and then making copy(ies) that were not part of the original agreement is plagiarism.
- Purchasing artwork and then changing it (unless copyright was also assigned) is also plagiarism.


Dirivitive works are not always infringement, even without prior permission (it's still a good idea to be careful: the word of the law is rather vague on defining infringement). Also, copying and altering a work to parody or satirize is specifically protected by the Fair Use Act.
