Lets say you have a pic that you purchased from an artist on the DNP list, and you would like to post it.  Once you purchase a commissioned pic, isnt it yours to do what you choose with it and post where you like?

depends on agreement between you and artist.

If you don't have an agreement with the artist which says you may post, in writing, then no. You may not post the image.

And of course, I will want to see the agreement in writing, and will want to track back to the artist to verify it.

Does one need to send the origional to you, or simply a scan?
and scince you will be tracking back to the artist wouldent simply pointing you to the artist in question be enough? as at that point less overall time is spent in verifying proof of allegation that one has indeed gained full rights to said art?
understandably requiring the first will reduce the amount of work you need to do in veryfying such claims, presuming that someone would falsify a permissions slip.
It is nice to have seen this come up, as I have always freely given my permission for others to do as they see fit with my art, and due to this discusion I've added it as a standerd bargening point when I set up to do art trades, or future purchases of commissioned art work. - IF they want my money or my origional art in trade, then I will obtain all rights or simply refuse to do buisness-  That is my right and True respect in both directions is enforced.

You're going to find very few artists willing to sign-off all rights to a work.  Well, few good artists, at least - Anyone who thinks their work is at all marketable won't be willing to, at least, I'd guess. 

Then again, smarter folks have done stupider things, so I guess I could be wrong.  And of course, there's always the folks that have no idea what they'd be actually agreeing to anyway.

as usual poor choice of words by self in 5, definition of all rights added here. *chuckle*  meaning - if I pay for the origional,
I get the right to post an image of it wheresoever I wish, and I Can sell The origional (not a copy or such as that would infringe on the spirit of copywright) whoever might purchase it from me shall get those same abilities.
(this is indeed a difficult area as it gets into odd areas if the commisioning person wants the artist to draw a beloved charector) but then again I was refering to what I do  which never involves the use of anothers charectors so that part becomes moot.
I am willing to pay for the ability to that.   
--this simple-- I just got a shiney I want to show it off. If I cant I wont get it. or perhaps more importantly the other isnt going to get cash from me.
*wonders how close this discusion is getting to either the ban hammer or frozen thread syndrome*

You should be aware that posting images of the artwork also violates copyright. I note this because you give copyright infringement as your reason for not being able to sell copies, but it's worth noting that waiving one of those rights would be as easy as waiving the other. It seemed odd to me that you would say that, is all.

In my experience, most artists are willing to allow (in the case of a commission) the purchaser to show digital copies of the image - as in, posting it on a character page or whatever - so long as they're not selling it, or making physical copies. This is basicallv what you're saying, right?

I am well aware that that posting an image without express consent also violates said copywrite. (hence the comentary on avoiding violating the spirit of such).
and aye more than close enough Fox Lee.

This is just a question, regarding the "verification in writing".

I have a pic I commissioned that the artist told me to distribute everywhere. Is this sufficient? He normally doesn't want his art posted anywhere.


And if this is sufficient, would I have to get the artist to email you to be able to post it, would the artist himself have to come and post it with a tripcode, could I just forward the email to Nadia, and how would you verify that it was me that actually posted it?

Not trying to be annoying, just getting clarification...

Vrification in writing means exactly that. In writing.

Bleh, I would love to see a furry take someone to court and full-blown legal battle over a fourm posting. You might have more luck trying to enforce a EULA in court :P

And just a reminder - sorry for being anal, but this bothers me, and I like anal* - it's copy*right*, not copywrite. It refers to the right to make copies, not anything to do with writing.

*Cheap shot, I know. I shouldn't try to be funny ^^;
