Copyright Hmm.
I like robots. My kids bought me a tinplate one for Christmas and I also had a book : The greatest SF Movies never made. I've attached the book-cover as an image.
Today I had an email from ebay about a fault in their systems. I've attached the image.
Now the robot the kids bought me for Christmas is the same robot that graces the book cover and the ebay email. He gets around!
It made me wonder about copyright. I could go and take some fun images of the robot and maybe sell them as a poster perhaps (I have no real intention to do this). Do I need copyright permission from the maker?
Similarly, lets say I created some images using some wooden toy trains made by a famous manufacturer. I could remove the logo (or not). Could I sell those without needing copyright clearance?
Where does copyright start and end for images made from real-world objects? Any general ideas?
I'm not talking about copying specific images.
