I just got an email and they said they were not aware it had copyright because they got it off google images.
Just because images are available for view on the internet does not mean it is free to download and use. Image search engines state that all images may be subject to copyright.
"Copyright attaches as soon as an original work is created, and applies to published and unpublished works."
They state on their website :
"the forum company signature: a blend of fine art, style, heritage and architectural features that make them uniquely South African.
We pride ourselves on being able to deliver every project with our hallmark professionalism and attention to detail."
Fine art like MINE?
Except I didn't get paid for it, nobody asked me if it was okay to use, but there it is on their company website being used to promote their event last year.
Now this isn't a little company, it is huge and is listed as one of the top companies in
South Africa, they even won a top international catering award in Vegas
So I guess it's not like they couldn't afford to pay me?
