Best Answer

No, the copyright covers "derived works" (such as alterations) also.

You might be able to get away with a parody. For example, if you wanted to advertise your new movie "Farm!" with the American Gothic portrait, you could probably dress your stars up in somber clothing, have the male lead hold a pitchfork, and take a picture of them in front of a Victorian-style house, and that would be okay. You should contact a lawyer first though.

Can you use Disney images for cafepress?

No you cannot use Disney images on cafepress. Disney images are copyrighted and you are not allowed to use them at all. Not at cafepress and not somewhere else. If you would do so you would break copyright law and the chance you will get sued is very high. If you have seen people using Disney images on cafepress then they probably have permission from Disney to do so or they are doing it illegal. If cafepress will find them the designs will be removed. The plain rule is that you cannot use any copyrighted images on cafepress. If you upload images to cafepress you agree to that rule.
