Now Fidelis has his cool thread about about the History of the Empire using old paintings, and I was wondering if there are any limitations to such things?
If I started a website, and used a bunch of images of very old paintings (thinking medieval era) would there be any issues?
Don't worry Fidelis, I am not going to do what you are doing, but I have some ideas for some other things...
I did a bit of a search, and some sources suggest that if the artists is dead for 70 years, no issues.
Some other sources say you may need to worry about the person who took the photo, but that it can also be difficult to determine the source.
Thoughts?
What about video game art?
Obviously this I would credit, but would there be issues with displaying this? Obviously no money involved in this one.
Two separate questions of course.
