Proof I have the right to use an image
Nov 29th, 2010, 2:02pm
 
About two months ago several of my cards came back from the reviewers with no status change but a question over my right to use the images I used in my cards.
I went to a great deal of trouble to explain to the reviewers my methods and as a result I made a blurb up to put in the "notes to reviewer" box for each and every card  I make now. That blurb reads like this
 
"A reviewer recently questioned me regarding the source of one of my images so I wish to state for the record that: I do have the right to use this image, as with all my images they are either my own photographs or works or they are works I have purchased the license to use giving me the right to use them both personally and commercially; or they are a mix of all the above. I also use numerous textures and layers to create vintage style works and Old-fashioned style works occasionally."
 
I, like everyone else, also have to tick the little box stating we have the rights to use the images.
I purchase my images from several places, I have a friend who makes textures and runs a blog on using them and gives textures away for free for use personally and commercially and I use photoshp CS4, several topaz plug in programs, paint shop pro and my own photography along with my purchased products.
 
Today I got a card back with no status change with this message
 
Please Note: If you have the rights to use this image, we need to have the URL and TOU of the source.
 
Since all my cards use several processes and images am I now going to have to supply the urls and tou for every single image i upload to use??  
 
How on earth do I PROVE I actually took a particular photo and that it belongs to me and I just played with it in one of my programs to get it looking like it does?
 
sorry but geez people I tick the box, I further put in writing I have the rights to use the images now I am having to prove what I say is true? Why??

Sorry about the double enty - I am having issues with my internet connections and didn't realise it worked the first time.
